Downhill Motion of the Skater-Skateboard System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lateral instabilities of vehicles are well-known phenomena, see for example, the shimmy motions of bikes, motorbikes or the steered wheels of cars. Another interesting phenomenon is the snaking motion of the skateboard-skater system that is analyzed in this study. A mechanical model of the downhill skateboarding is constructed in order to consider the effect of the slope angle on the stability. The equations of motion are obtained with the help of the Gibbs-Appell method. The linear stability analysis of the rectilinear motion is carried out analytically using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. The influence of different realistic parameters of the skater and the board are investigated. A critical position of the skater on the board also is determined.

Stabilizing skateboard speed-wobble with reflex delay.
A simple mechanical model of the skateboard-skater system is analysed, in which the effect of human control is considered by means of a linear proportional-derivative (PD) controller with delay. The equations of motion of this non-holonomic system are neutral delay-differential equations. A linear stability analysis of the rectilinear motion is carried out analytically. It is shown how to vary ...
متن کاملAugmented Downhill Simplex a Modified Heuristic Optimization Method
Augmented Downhill Simplex Method (ADSM) is introduced here, that is a heuristic combination of Downhill Simplex Method (DSM) with Random Search algorithm. In fact, DSM is an interpretable nonlinear local optimization method. However, it is a local exploitation algorithm; so, it can be trapped in a local minimum. In contrast, random search is a global exploration, but less efficient. Here, rand...
متن کاملCorrection: Might as Well Jump: Sound Affects Muscle Activation in Skateboarding
The aim of the study is to reveal the role of sound in action anticipation and performance, and to test whether the level of precision in action planning and execution is related to the level of sensorimotor skills and experience that listeners possess about a specific action. Individuals ranging from 18 to 75 years of age--some of them without any skills in skateboarding and others experts in ...
متن کاملFast Multi-reference Motion Estimation via Enhanced Downhill Simplex Search
Block motion estimation can be regarded as a function minimization problem in a finite-dimensional space. Therefore, fast block motion estimation can be achieved by using an efficient function minimization algorithm instead of a predefined search pattern, such as diamond search. Downhill simplex search is an efficient derivative-free function minimization algorithm. In this paper, we proposed a...
متن کاملGaze Strategies in Skateboard Trick Jumps: Spatiotemporal Constraints in Complex Locomotion.
PURPOSE This study aimed to further the knowledge on gaze behavior in locomotion by studying gaze strategies in skateboard jumps of different difficulty that had to be performed either with or without an obstacle. METHOD Nine experienced skateboarders performed "Ollie" and "Kickflip" jumps either over an obstacle or over a plane surface. The stable gaze at 5 different areas of interest was ca...
