Stability radius of implicit dynamic equations with constant coefficients on time scales

This paper deals with the stability radii of implicit dynamic equations on time scales when the structured perturbations act on both the coefficient of derivative and the right-hand side. Formulas of the stability radii are derived as a unification and generalization of some previous results. A special case where the real stability radius and the complex stability radius are equal is studied. Examples are derived to illustrate results.     

Guaranteed Dynamic-System State Estimation by the Method of Bidirectional Dynamic Programming

The problem of guaranteed estimation (smoothing, filtration, prediction) of a dynamic process observed on a finite discrete time interval is solved, based on generalization of the dynamic programming procedure for the case with sequential optmization in direct and inverse time.     

Design and experimental evaluation of a robust force controller for an electro-hydraulic actuator via quantitative feedback theory

This paper presents the design and experimental evaluation of an explicit force controller for a hydraulic actuator in the presence of significant system uncertainties and nonlinearities. The nonlinear version of quantitative feedback theory (QFT) is employed to design a robust time-invariant controller. Two approaches are developed to identify linear time-invariant equivalent model that can precisely represent the nonlinear plant, operating over a wide range. The first approach is based on experimental input–output measurements, obtained directly from the actual system. The second approach is model-based, and utilizes the general nonlinear mathematical model of a hydraulic actuator interacting with an uncertain environment. Given the equivalent models, a controller is then designed to satisfy a priori specified tracking and stability specifications. The controller enjoys the simplicity of fixed-gain controllers while exhibiting robustness. Experimental tests are performed on a hydraulic actuator equipped with a low-cost proportional valve. The results show that the compensated system is not sensitive to the variation of parameters such as environmental stiffness or supply pressure and can equally work well for various set-point forces.

Use of pressure insoles to compare in-shoe loading for modern running shoes

The primary objective of this paper was to compare in-shoe loading for different models of running shoe using measurements of force distribution. It was hypothesised that a shoe designed with minimal focus on cushioning would demonstrate significantly higher peak forces and rates of loading than running shoes designed with cushioning midsoles. Loading was compared using in-shoe peak forces for six footwear conditions. It was found that peak rate of loading at the heel provided clear distinctions between shoes. In support of the study hypothesis, the shoe with minimal focus on cushioning had a significantly higher rate of loading than all but one of the other test shoes. Data collected for midfoot and forefoot areas of the foot highlighted the importance of considering loading across the foot surface. The results of the present study demonstrate that pressure insoles provide a useful tool for the assessment of loading across the foot plantar surface for different footwear conditions. There are numerous models of running shoe for individuals to select from, with limited information available regarding the performance of the shoes during running. The current study demonstrates differences in loads across the foot plantar surface during running, indicating differences in performance for different footwear models.     

Development and validation of a biodynamic model for predicting multi-finger movements in cylinder-grasping tasks †

This article describes the development and validation of a model for predicting multi-finger movements in grasping activities. The model builds upon a newly proposed approach that incorporates forward dynamics and a system identification procedure, and is amenable to empirical tests. A database of multi-fingered grasping movements performed by 28 subjects was established and divided into four sets, one for model development and three for model validation. In the development phase, model parameter values were estimated by the iterative system identification procedure through a physics-based heuristic algorithm. The estimated parameter values were then statistically synthesised and integrated into the prediction model. In the validation phase, the model was applied to three novel datasets containing different grasping movements involving objects of varied sizes and different subjects. The results demonstrated the model's ability to predict hand prehensile movements with error magnitudes comparable to the inter-person variability in performing such movements. New insights into the control of multi-fingered hand prehensile movements at the systems and joint levels emerged from the model development and validation process. The current study contributes to building a foundation for long-term development of realistic biodynamic simulation of multi-finger hand movements. Such simulation capabilities will aid in design of hand-operated tools, devices or hand-intensive work for proactive ergonomics and in evaluation as well as treatment of functional impairment of the hand.
