Abstract. Lithospheric-scale fault systems control the large-scale permeability in Earth's crust and lithospheric mantle, its proper recognition is fundamental to understand geometry distribution of mineral deposits, volcanic plutonic complexes geothermal systems. However, their manifestations at current surface can be very subtle, as many cases they are oriented oblique continental margin axis...

The positioning accuracy of commercially-available industrial robotic manipulators depends upon a kinematic model which describes the robot geometry in a parametric form. Manufacturing errors in machining and assembly of manipulators lead to discrepancies belween the design parameters and the physical structure. Improving the kinematic performance thus requires identification of the actual kin...

Humans produce speech by controlling a complex biomechanical apparatus to achieve desired speech sounds. We show here that kinematic variability in speech may be influenced by patterns of jaw stiffness. A robotic device was used to deliver mechanical perturbations to the jaw to quantify its stiffness in the mid-sagittal plane. Measured jaw stiffness was anisotropic. Stiffness was greatest along...

A class of theories of gravitation that naturally incorporates preferred frames of reference is presented. The underlying space-time geometry consists of a partial parallelization of space-time and has properties of Riemann-Cartan as well as teleparallel geometry. Within this geometry, the kinematic quantities of preferred frames are associated with torsion fields. Using a variational method, i...

introduction we aimed to introduce a 6-universal-prismatic-spherical (ups) parallel mechanism for the human jaw motion and theoretically evaluate its kinematic problem. we proposed a strategy to provide a fast and accurate solution to the kinematic problem. the proposed strategy could accelerate the process of solution-finding for the direct kinematic problem by reducing the number of required ...
