Human Postural Model That Captures Rotational Inertia
INTRODUCTION Inverted pendulum models have been very beneficial for the modeling and analysis of human gait and balance [Kuo, 2007]. These reduced models allow us to ignore the movements of the individual limbs, and instead, focus on two important points -the center of pressure (CoP) and the center of mass (CoM) -and the lean line that connects the two points. A limitation of the existing reduc...
متن کاملInfluence of rotational inertia on turning performance of theropod dinosaurs: clues from humans with increased rotational inertia.
The turning agility of theropod dinosaurs may have been severely limited by the large rotational inertia of their horizontal trunks and tails. Bodies with mass distributed far from the axis of rotation have much greater rotational inertia than bodies with the same mass distributed close to the axis of rotation. In this study, we increased the rotational inertia about the vertical axis of human ...
متن کاملRotational propulsion enabled by inertia.
The fluid mechanics of small-scale locomotion has recently attracted considerable attention, due to its importance in cell motility and the design of artificial micro-swimmers for biomedical applications. Most studies on the topic consider the ideal limit of zero Reynolds number. In this paper, we investigate a simple propulsion mechanism --an up-down asymmetric dumbbell rotating about its axis...
متن کاملHuman compensations for undependable systems
Randell’s (2000) dependability fault-error-failure model was originally designed with the objective of describing the propagation of faults in technical systems. Conversely, Reason’s (1990) swiss cheese model was intended to describe the organisational facet of systems’ failures. However useful these two views have been, there has not been a lot of effort devoted to highlighting their common fe...
متن کاملClassical rotational inertia of solid 4He.
The observation of reduced rotational inertia in a cell containing solid 4He has been interpreted as evidence for superfluidity of the solid. We propose an alternative explanation: slippage of the solid, due to grain boundary premelting between the solid and dense adsorbed layers at the container wall. We calculate the range of film thickness, and determine the viscosity that will account for t...
