Effect of links’ center of gravity position on the performance of a four-bar linkage as an upper limb rehabilitation mechanism: A parametric study
(Springer Verlag, 2016)It has been shown that mechanisms based on closed kinematic chains, with integrated passive elements (springs) can generate motions that replicate the natural hand motion and therefore they can be potentially useful in ...

Longitudinal motion control of air-breathing hypersonic vehicles based on time-varying models
(2006)The non-standard dynamic characteristics of air-breathing hypersonic flight vehicles together with the aerodynamic effects of hypersonic flight make the flight control of such systems highly challenging. Moreover the wide ...
