... is independent of generalized velocities. The process involves expansion of the energy equation, and specifically a special expansion of the kinetic energy term, from which the inertia forces emerge. The expansion uses fundamental kinematic identities of the phase space. It is also guided by insights drawn from...

The present paper is devoted to the modeling of self-excited vibrations of moving continua generated by frictional forces. Special regard is given to an accurate formulation of the kinematics...

... of natural and robotic systems is a challenge. Direct and indirect measurement methods involving a combination of kinematic data and computation are discussed. The basic methodology is developed for one single rigid body for simplicity, brevity, and precision. Computer simulations are presented...

... of Euler angle coordinates and choice of angular velocities in a rotating coordinate frame, allows us to recast the three-dimensional kinematics problem as a problem in planar geometry. This, in turn, allows a variety of optimization problems to be defined and admits infinite solution trajectories...

The analysis emphasizes the importance of nonlinear kinematics effects in the prediction of the pull-in voltage of the device, a key design parameter. Moreover, the nonlinear behavior associated with finite kinematics (i.e...

Kuhn The paper presents a definition of particle rolling for the interactions of two and three-dimensional particles of arbitrary shape, in case of infinitesimal particle translations and rotations. The definition is based on a purely kinematical analysis, and it is shown...

...S. Djerassi; H. Bamberger This paper deals with noncontributing forces, usually called constraint forces or reaction forces, arising in simple, nonholonomic multibody systems. These forces are related to two kinds of constraints, namely, kinematical constraints—derived from kinematical requirements...
