Analysis and passive control of a four-bar linkage for the rehabilitation of upper-limb motion
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015)In the last two decades robotic rehabilitation research provided significant insight regarding the human-robot interaction, helped understand the process by which the impaired nervous system is retrained to better control ...

A C1-conforming hp finite element method for fourth order singularly perturbed boundary value problems
(2016)We consider a fourth order singularly perturbed boundary value problem (BVP) in one-dimension and the approximation of its solution by the hp version of the Finite Element Method (FEM). The given problem's boundary conditions ...

Classification of noether symmetries for Lagrangians with three degrees of freedom
(2004)The noether symmetries of the Euler-Lagrange equations for a Hamiltonian system with three degrees were classified. All groups were classified that appeared as symmetries of a general Hamiltonians system of n degrees of ...

First-passage study and stationary response analysis of a BWB hysteresis model using quasi-conservative stochastic averaging method
(1995)The quasi-conservative stochastic averaging (QCSA) method is applied to a Bouc-Wen-Baber hysteretic system (BWB) under Gaussian white noise excitations. The stationary probability density of the system's response amplitude ...

Identification of hysteretic systems using the differential evolution algorithm
(2001)A widely used model in the field of hysteretic or memory-dependent vibrations is that of Bouc and Wen. Different parameter values extend its use to various areas of mechanical vibrations. As a consequence an identification ...

The method of fundamental solutions for inhomogeneous elliptic problems
(1998)We investigate the use of the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) for solving inhomogeneous harmonic and biharmonic problems. These are transformed to homogeneous problems by subtracting a particular solution of the ...

The method of fundamental solutions for three-dimensional elastostatics problems
(2002)We consider the application of the method of fundamental solutions to isotropic elastostatics problems in three space dimensions. The displacements are approximated by linear combinations of the fundamental solutions of ...

Minimally actuated four-bar linkages for upper limb rehabilitation
(2018)In the previous years the scientific community dealt extensively with designing, developing and testing robot-based rehabilitation systems. Besides the benefits that resulted for disabled people, this twenty-year endeavor ...

Noether and master symmetries for the Toda lattice
(2005)In this letter we examine the interrelation between Noether symmetries, master symmetries and recursion operators for the Toda lattice. The topics include invariants, higher Poisson brackets and the various relations they ...

On shear deformable beam theories: The frequency and normal mode equations of the homogeneous orthotropic bickford beam
(2001)This paper provides a step forwards the construction and documentation of the frequency equations and the characteristic functions of a general three-degrees-of-freedom theory that describes the plane motion of shear ...

Stress intensity factor computation using the method of fundamental solutions
(2006)In this paper, we study the application of the method of fundamental solutions to the computation of stress intensity factors in linear elastic fracture mechanics. The displacements are approximated by linear combinations ...

Study of B0 → J/ψK(*)0π+π- decays with the collider detector at Fermilab
(2002)The study of the decays B0 → J/ψK(*)0 π+π-, was reported. The study involved the creation of a uū or dd̄ quark pair in addition to a b̄ → c̄(cs̄) decay. Three-level dimuon trigger was used in the analysis. Events with two ...

Using the milliken moment method and dynamic simulation to evaluate vehicle stability and controllability
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)The Milliken Moment Method (MMM) is a way of efficiently organizing the results from a kinematically constrained vehicle test. Using the MMM and closed-loop dynamic simulation, the authors present a new method for evaluating ...

Worldline path integral for the massive Dirac propagator: A four-dimensional approach
(1999)We simplify and generalize an approach proposed by Di Vecchia and Ravndal to describe a massive Dirac particle in external vector and scalar fields. Two different path integral representations for the propagator are derived ...
