Limitations imposed by wearing armour on Medieval soldiers' locomotor performance.
In Medieval Europe, soldiers wore steel plate armour for protection during warfare. Armour design reflected a trade-off between protection and mobility it offered the wearer. By the fifteenth century, a typical suit of field armour weighed between 30 and 50 kg and was distributed over the entire body. How much wearing armour affected Medieval soldiers' locomotor energetics and biomechanics is u...
متن کاملLimitations imposed by single DOF actuators on discrete actuator arrays
The Modular Distributed Manipulator System (MDMS) is an array of actuators that is capable of manipulating objects in the plane [1]. Each actuator in the array consists of two closely spaced, orthogonally mounted motorized roller wheels whose combined action approximates a programmable vector force. This paper first derives the equations of motion for transported objects by explicitly consideri...
متن کاملLimitations on Position Coding Imposed by Undersampling and Univariance
Position judgements, which are exquisitely precise in the fovea, are markedly degraded in the periphery. In a recent article [Hess & Field (1993) Vision Research, 33, 2663-2670] argue that the poor representation of positional information in peripheral vision is a consequence of uncalibrated spatial disorder of cortical connections rather than due to undersampling of the retinal image. Specific...
متن کاملLimitations to maximum sprinting speed imposed by muscle mechanical properties.
It has been suggested that the force-velocity relationship of skeletal muscle plays a critical limiting role in the maximum speed at which humans can sprint. However, this theory has not been tested directly, and it is possible that other muscle mechanical properties play limiting roles as well. In this study, forward dynamics simulations of human sprinting were generated using a 2D musculoskel...
متن کاملLimitations Imposed by the Sign-Equality Assumption in Qualitative Simulation
The second derivative sign-equality assumption has to be made for the derivation of expressions for higher-order derivatives of chattering system variables in the qualitative simulation of models containing monotonic function constraints . Kuipers et al. [1] established this method and showed that prediction failure is possible when the sign-equality assumption is utilized . We present a closer...
