Dynamic Simulation and Analysis of Human Walking Mechanism

Dynamic simulation of crawler excavator walking mechanism

In order to develop a mechanical simulation experiment, a dynamic simulation of crawler excavator walking mechanism is designed. The performance of walking mechanism of excavator is tested by dynamic simulation. According to the data analysis, it is known that crawler walking mechanism is an important part of mine excavator and a walking device with better adaptability than wheeled walking mech...

Dynamic optimization of human walking.

A three-dimensional, neuromusculoskeletal model of the body was combined with dynamic optimization theory to simulate normal walking on level ground. The body was modeled as a 23 degree-of-freedom mechanical linkage, actuated by 54 muscles. The dynamic optimization problem was to calculate the muscle excitation histories, muscle forces, and limb motions subject to minimum metabolic energy expen...

Passive Dynamic Walking Analysis

There are an estimated 1.7 million Americans living with limb loss; further, spinal cord injuries afflict 250,000 Americans [1]. Many patients lose their jobs and their quality of life plummets. Fortunately there have been significant advancements in the design of prosthetic limbs in the last few decades. A noteworthy achievement is the direct integration of a prosthetic device with the brain, ...

Towards Dynamic Walking in Musculoskeletal Simulation

An important next step is to increase the capabilities of musculo-skeletal simulations to accurately predict robust stability of whole-body dynamic locomotion. Accomplishing this step is expected to positively enable biomechanical simulation, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and robotics research. Greater stability and robustness of musculo-skeletal simulations enables vertical advancement of the f...
