Landing Quality in Artistic Gymnastics Is Related to Landing Symmetry
In gymnastics every exercise finishes with a landing. The quality of landing depends on subjective (e.g. biomechanical) and objective (e.g. mechanical characteristics of landing area) factors. The aim of our research was to determine which biomechanical (temporal, kinematic and dynamic) characteristics of landing best predict the quality of landing. Twelve male gymnasts performed a stretched fo...
متن کاملScansorial Landing and Perching
We describe an approach whereby small unmanned aircraft can land and perch on outdoor walls. Our prototype uses an ultrasonic sensor to initiate a pitch-up maneuver as it flies toward a wall. As it begins to stall, it contacts the wall with compliant “feet” equipped with rows of miniature spines that engage asperities on the surface. A nonlinear hierarchical suspension absorbs the kinetic energ...
متن کاملLanding Site Suitability Models
Introduction: We have explored the use of GIS suitability models for the screening and analyzing of potential sites for Mars landers using engineering and scientific constraints in an iterative manner. While initially performed on locally held data sets, these analyses have now been extended to use widely distributed data from standardized Web Mapping Servers (WMS) [1]. The ability to exploit a...
متن کاملShock Attenuation in Landing
Shock Attenuation in Landing by Bryon Christopher Applequist Dr. John Mercer, Examination Committee Chair Associate Professor of Kinesiology University of Nevada, Las Vegas Shock attenuation (SA) has been well studied in activities such as walking and running (Chu, et al. 2004; Derrick, et al. 2004; Mercer, et al. 2003); however, there is a lack of research regarding SA during landing. Furtherm...
متن کاملMoon Landing Trajectory Optimization
Trajectory optimization is a crucial process during the planning phase of a spacecraft landing mission. Once a trajectory is determined, guidance algorithms are created to guide the vehicle along the given trajectory. Because fuel mass is a major driver of the total vehicle mass, and thus mission cost, the objective of most guidance algorithms is to minimize the required fuel consumption. Most ...
