Walter Wunderlich was one of the most influential Austrian kinematicians in the 20th century. He wrote more than 200 scientific papers in the fields of mathematics, geometry and kinematics. Because of his influence, kinematic geometry is still an important subject in the curricula of geometry teachers’ education in Austria.

The Rukwa Rift Basin, Tanzania is regarded as a modern example of cratonic rift zone despite complex polyphase extensional and episodic inversion structures. We interpret 2D seismic reflection data tied to wells identify describe structures controlling stratigraphic sequences (Late Carboniferous Pleistocene) in two main segmented domains, A B, which are controlled by the Chisi Saza shear zones....

Kinematic constraints on the Cenozoic deformation along northwestern edge of Tibetan Plateau remain limited. Combining surface geological data and seismic profiles, we document structural geometry kinematics large-scale east-west striking Hotan anticline, foothills Western Kunlun Range. Four new balanced cross-sections are constructed, temporal evolution is deciphered from exceptionally well-im...

In this paper, the kinematic workspace characteristics of a crab-like legged vehicle are investigated using a 2-D model. The alternative kinematic configurations and their corresponding workspace constraints are discussed, and the vehicle configuration of most interest identified. It is shown that, for constant vehicle body attitude, only two parameters affect the kinematic workspace, foot over...

In the applications of parallel robots, kinematic calibration is required to eliminate the errors resulting from the manufacturing and assembly. In this paper, a new method for calibrating a parallel robot is proposed. An error model for kinematic calibration is constructed using differential geometry method. All leg length information and pose error are obtained based on measurement results co...
