  • Comparison of leg spring characteristics during running using mass-spring-damper modeling

    Creator:
    Watanatada, Pasakorn
    Abstract:
    During heel-toe running, the vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) profile has both impact and active peaks. Although the mass-spring model (a single mass and a linear spring) is simple and useful to predict running characteristics, its simulation of VGRF profiles produces only a single peak rather than the double peak...

  • Dynamics and stability of lateral plane locomotion on variable inclines

    Creator:
    Bonnono, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    An actuated, bipedal model is developed to investigate lateral plane locomotion dynamics and stability on inclines. Both the point mass case and rigid body case are considered. Variations in the force-free leg length are determined via inverse dynamics to explicitly and implicitly match prescribed lateral and fore-aft force profiles, respectively....
