Model reduction of modal representations
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)
Dynamic analysis is extensively used to study the behavior of continuous and lumped parameter linear systems. In addition to the physical space, analyses can also be performed in the modal space where useful frequency ...
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 ...
Upper limb assessment of people with multiple sclerosis with the use of a haptic nine hole peg-board test
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Xydas, E. G.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of CyprusCyprus, 2009)
In this work, a nine-hole peg-board test (NHPT) arrangement is implemented in a Virtual Environment with the use of a Haptic Interface that has the form of a small robotic arm. The Haptic NHPT is used as a mean for ...
Validation and use of SIMULINK integrated, high fidelity, engine-in-vehicle simulation of the international class VI truck
(2000)
This work presents the development, validation and use of a SIMULINK integrated vehicle system simulation composed of engine, driveline and vehicle dynamics modules. The engine model links the appropriate number of ...
Integration and use of diesel engine, driveline and vehicle dynamics models for heavy duty truck simulation
(1999)
An integrated vehicle system simulation has been developed to take advantage of advances in physical process and component models, flexibility of graphical programming environments (such as MATLAB-SIMULINK), and ever ...
Evaluation metrics of upper extremities for people with neurological disorders: An energy based approach
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017)
Various neurological disorders, like Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Huntington's disease and Stroke, affect millions of people worldwide. Tremor that is a result of these disorders affects the performance of many ...
Using the Milliken Moment Method and dynamic simulation to evaluate vehicle stability and controllability
(2008)
The Milliken Moment Method (MMM) effectively organises kinematically constrained vehicle test results. The authors present a method for evaluating vehicle handling
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 ...
Vehicle model robustness: A case study of the FMTV military truck model
(2005)
Vital to the effectiveness of simulation-based design is having a model of known quality of the system being designed. The purpose of this paper is to validate a simplified dynamic model of an FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical ...
Identification of kinematic traits in 3D reaching Tasks with the use of a haptic Nine-Hole Peg-Board Test: Comparison between healthy people and people with Multiple Sclerosis
