چکیده
objective: to investigate the friction of rabbit’s knee joint with designed pendulum friction tester to diagnose and evaluate different pathological and therapeutic conditions following haemarthrosis, osteoarthritis, and other joint disorders. materials and methods: friction coefficient of 10 adult male albino rabbit’s joint (5 right and 5 left knees) weighted 1.59 ± 0.27 kg, after designing and compiling the instrument and its processing software in the physiotherapy department of tarbiat modares university were measured. maximaum pendulum rotation, number of oscillations to reach equilibrium, coefficient of friction with stanton’s equation, exponential and linear curve fitting, average logarithmic and linear decrement methods were measured. results: maximum rotation after pendulum releasing in the left joints were higher than the right ones, p

Friction and the Inverted Pendulum Stabilization Problem
Abstract We consider an experimental system consisting of a pendulum, which is free to rotate 360 degrees, attached to a cart. The cart can move in one dimension. We study the effect of friction on the design and performance of a feedback controller, a linear quadratic regulator, that aim to stabilize the pendulum in the upright position. We show that a controller designed using a simple viscou...
متن کاملA two-wheeled inverted pendulum robot with friction compensation
This paper introduces a method of design and implementation of a two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot with friction compensation. Friction in the drive mechanism is a critical factor of robot self-balancing and affects its performance. The friction parameters are identified based on the dynamic model of the drive mechanism. The dynamics of the whole robot system are obtained by the Lagran...
متن کاملFriction measurement in a hip wear simulator.
A torque measurement system was added to a widely used hip wear simulator, the biaxial rocking motion device. With the rotary transducer, the frictional torque about the drive axis of the biaxial rocking motion mechanism was measured. The principle of measuring the torque about the vertical axis above the prosthetic joint, used earlier in commercial biaxial rocking motion simulators, was shown ...
متن کاملMeasurement of friction coefficients with the atomic force microscope
A new axial method for measuring the friction coefficient with the atomic force microscope is given. This axial method requires no calibration steps and is performed simultaneously with a normal force measurement by measuring the difference between the constant compliance slopes of the extend and retract force curves. The algorithm can be applied retrospectively to extract the friction coeffici...
متن کاملEliminating friction with friction: 2D Janssen effect in a friction-driven system.
The Janssen effect is a unique property of confined granular materials experiencing gravitational compaction in which the pressure at the bottom saturates with an increasing filling height due to frictional interactions with side walls. In this Letter, we replace gravitational compaction with frictional compaction. We study friction-compacted 2D granular materials confined within fixed boundari...
