Cyclic Motion

This chapter covers the notion of hyperelasticity—the concept that stress is derived from a strain—energy function–by invoking an analogy between elastic materials and springs. Alternatively, it can be derived by invoking a work inequality; the notion that work is required to effect a cyclic motion of the material.

Classical Control

Combining wheeled structure with hopping mechanism, this paper purposes a self-balanced hopping robot with hybrid motion pattern. The main actuator which is the cylindrical cam, optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO), is equipped with the motor to control the hopping motion. Robotic system dynamics model is established and solved by Lagrangian method. After linearization, control characteristics of the system is obtained by classical control theory based on dynamics equations. By applying Adams and Matlab to simulate the system, hopping locomotion and self-balanced capability are validated respectively, and result shows that jump height can reach 750 mm theoretically. Then PID control scheme is developed and specific models of hardware and software are settled down accordingly. Finally, prototype is implemented and series of hopping experiments are conducted, showing that with different projectile angle, prototype can jump 550 mm in height and 460 mm in length, transcending majority of other existing hopping robots.

The Ideal

This review article examines the mechanical factors involved in tendon repair by sutures. The repair strength, repair stiffness and gap resistance can be increased by increasing the number of core strands and anchor points, by increased anchor point efficiency and the use of peripheral sutures, and by using thicker sutures. In the future, laboratory tests could be standardized to a specific animal model and to a defined cyclic motion programme. Clinical studies support the use of multi-strand core and peripheral sutures, but two-strand core sutures are not adequate to ensure consistently good clinical results. Training surgeons in complex tendon repair techniques is essential.

The Stability

The paper investigates primarily the geometrical meaning of the determinant of the Jacobian (det j) of the three connector lines of a planar in-parallel platform device using reciprocity. A remarkably simple result is deduced: The maximum value of det j namely, det jm is simply one-half of the sum of the lengths of the sides of the moving triangular platform. Further, this result is shown to be independent of the location of the fixed pivots in the base. A dimensionless ratio λ = |det j|/det jm is defined as the quality index (0 ≤ λ ≤ 1) and it is proposed here to use it to measure “closeness” to a singularity. An example which determines the optimal design by comparing different shaped moving platforms having the same det jm is given and demonstrates that the optimal shape is in fact an equilateral triangle

Classifying the motion pattern of marine targets is of important significance to promote target surveillance and management efficiency of marine area and to guarantee sea route safety. This paper proposes a moving target classification algorithm model based on channel extraction-segmentation-LCSCA-lp norm minimization. The algorithm firstly analyzes the entire distribution of channels in specific region, and defines the categories of potential ship motion patterns; on this basis, through secondary segmentation processing method, it obtains several line segment trajectories as training sample sets, to improve the accuracy of classification algorithm; then, it further uses the Leastsquares Cubic Spline Curves Approximation (LCSCA) technology to represent the training sample sets, and builds a motion pattern classification sample dictionary; finally, it uses lp norm minimized sparse representation classification model to realize the classification of motion patterns. The verification experiment based on real spatial-temporal trajectory dataset indicates that, this method can effectively realize the motion pattern classification of marine targets, and shows better time performance and classification accuracy than other representative classification methods.
