We consider the motion of a viscous compressible fluid confined to a physical space with a time dependent kinematic boundary. We suppose that the characteristic speed of the fluid is dominated by the speed of sound and perform the low Mach number limit in the framework of weak solutions. The standard incompressible Navier-Stokes system is identified as the target problem.

Previous studies have investigated the kinematics of racing wheelchair propulsion, but very few have focused on the kinematics of field events such as shot put, discus, and javelin . There are eight medical classes for wheelchair field athletes, F1-F8. However, there is no javelin competition for the F1 class. The growing popularity of these events have illuminated the need for kinematic analys...

Precise teleoperation of deztrous robotic hands b y hand masters requires an accurate human hand model. A kinematic model of a human index finger is developed as an example for human hand modeling. The parameters of the model are determined b y open-loop kinematic calibration. Singular value decomposition is used as a tool for analyzing the kinematic model and the identification process. Accura...

We present a novel methodology for performing experiments with subsurface structural models using a set of flexible and extensible Python modules. We utilize the ability of kinematic modelling techniques to describe major deformational, tectonic, and magmatic events at low computational cost to develop experiments testing the interactions between multiple kinematic events, effect of uncertainty...

We studied the stability of changes in motor performance associated with adaptation to a novel dynamic environment during goal-directed movements of the dominant arm. Eleven normal, human subjects made targeted reaching movements in the horizontal plane while holding the handle of a two-joint robotic manipulator. This robot was programmed to generate a novel viscous force field that perturbed t...

To my family, friends and love Blazing gratefulness From every nook and cranny of my fiery beating heart. It is with blazing gratefulness that I impart. That the winding paths I have travelled, and uncharted waters on which I am yet to embark. With south of me the splendor of the white Alps and north the boundless flat orange horizons that ignited my spark. All of this would merely be but a smo...

An approach for model-free markerless motion capture of articulated kinematic structures is presented. This approach is centered our method for generating underlying nonlinear axes (or a skeleton curve) from the volume of an arbitrary rigid-body model. We describe the use of skeleton curves for deriving a kinematic model and motion (in the form of joint angles over time) from a captured volume ...
