Motion Simulation and Mechanism Design with SOLIDWORKS Motion 2020

Motion Simulation and Mechanism Design with SOLIDWORKS Motion 2020

This book is written to help you become familiar with SOLIDWORKS Motion an add-on module of the SOLIDWORKS software family. It covers the basic concepts and frequently used commands required to advance readers from a novice to intermediate level in using SOLIDWORKS Motion. SOLIDWORKS Motion allows you to use solid models created in SOLIDWORKS to simulate and visualize mechanism motion and performance. Using SOLIDWORKS Motion early in the product development stage could prevent costly redesign due to design defects found in the physical testing phase. Therefore using SOLIDWORKS Motion contributes to a more cost effective reliable and efficient product design process. Basic concepts discussed in this book include model generation such as creating assembly mates for proper motion; carrying out simulation and animation; and visualizing simulation results such as graphs and spreadsheet data. These concepts are introduced using simple yet realistic examples. Verifying the results obtained from the computer simulation is extremely important. One of the unique features of this book is the incorporation of theoretical discussions for kinematic and dynamic analyses in conjunction with the simulation results obtained using SOLIDWORKS Motion. Verifying the simulation results will increase your confidence in using the software and prevent you from being fooled by erroneous simulations. | Motion Simulation and Mechanism Design with SOLIDWORKS Motion 2020

Motion Structures Deployable Structural Assemblies of Mechanisms

Motion Structures Deployable Structural Assemblies of Mechanisms

The Open Access version of this book available at http://www. routledge. com has been made available under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4. 0 license. Motion structures are simply assemblies of resistant bodies connected by movable joints. Unlike conventional structures they allow large shape transformations to satisfy practical requirements and they can be used in: shelters emergency structures and exhibition stands aircraft morphing wings satellite solar panels and space antennas morphing core materials for composites medical implants for minimum invasive surgery. Though traditionally the subject falls within structural engineering motion structures are more closely related to other mechanisms and they draw on the principles of kinematic and geometrical analysis in their design. Indeed their design and analysis can be viewed as an extension of the theory of mechanisms such as rigid origami and can make effective use of a wealth of mathematical principles. This book outlines the relevant underlying theory of motion structural concepts and uses a number of innovative but simple structures as examples. | Motion Structures Deployable Structural Assemblies of Mechanisms

High-Speed Precision Motion Control

High-Speed Precision Motion Control

Edited by Takashi Yamaguchi Mitsuo Hirate and Chee Khiang Pang with contributions from pioneers known for their ground-breaking work High-Speed Precision Motion Control discusses high-precision and fast servo controls in hard disk drives (HDDs). The chapter authors describe the control technologies they’ve developed most of which have already been successfully applied to mass production of HDDs. As the proposed methodologies have been verified on commercial HDDs at the very least these advanced control technologies can also be readily applied to precision motion control of other mechatronic systems e. g. scanners micro-positioners photocopiers atomic force microscopes (AFMs) etc. Each self-contained chapter progresses from concept to technique and presents application examples in automotive aerospace aeronautical and manufacturing engineering. The control technologies are categorized into high-speed servo control precision control and environment-friendly control making it easy to find an appropriate control technology according to their domain of application. The book also makes MATLAB®/SIMULINK® codes for benchmark problems available for download. The control technologies described range from fundamental classical control theories to advanced topics such as multi-rate control. The content contains a healthy balance between materials from the contributor’s research works and that in the wider literature. The resulting resource empowers engineers and managers with the knowledge and know-how to make important decisions and policies.

Biomechanics of Human Motion Applications in the Martial Arts Second Edition

Biomechanics of Human Motion Applications in the Martial Arts Second Edition

Biomechanics of Human Motion: Applications in the Martial Arts Second Edition explores the biomechanical principles of nine different forms of martial arts with specific attention paid to their anatomical features. Within this examination Professor Arus highlights the use of energy and force especially in Kyusho-Jutsu. Whereas the first edition provided an in-depth explanation of the Aikido techniques of Kokyu-ryoku the second edition focusses specifically on the grabbing and liberation techniques used in Kyusho-Jutsu. Such an examination stresses the importance of vital points finger manipulation and their co rresponding emphasis on energy usage. As Professor Arus details throughout Biomechanics of Human Motion Second Edition knowledge of this form of pressure point maneuvering is useful in both attack and counterattack situations especially since the martial artist’s anatomo-physiological adaptation to effort represents the most significant development in fighting regimens. The second edition also includes a discussion of the katana. Professor Arus notes that defense against the katana is nearly impossible describing the three major steps used in Japanese (Ma). It is customary in Aikido to defend against a wooden sword. By using a wooden sword an Aikido Master’s demonstration is pre-determined. Techniques to defend against these demonstrations are discussed throughout the book. Finally various attack and defense techniques using pressure points are also explained in Biomechanics of Human Motion Second Edition. | Biomechanics of Human Motion Applications in the Martial Arts Second Edition

Music-Dance Sound and Motion in Contemporary Discourse

Music-Dance Sound and Motion in Contemporary Discourse

Music-Dance explores the identity of choreomusical work its complex authorship and its modes of reception as well as the cognitive processes involved in the reception of dance performance. Scholars of dance and music analyse the ways in which a musical score changes its prescriptive status when it becomes part of a choreographic project the encounter between sound and motion on stage and the intersection of listening and seeing. As well as being of interest to musicologists and choreologists considering issues such as notation multimedia and the analysis of performance this volume will appeal to scholars interested in applied research in the fields of cognition and neuroscience. The line-up of authors comprises representative figures of today’s choreomusicology dance historians scholars of twentieth-century composition and specialists in cognitive science and performance studies. Among the topics covered are multimedia and the analysis of performance; the notational practice of choreographers and the parallel attempts of composers to find a graphic representation for musical gestures; and the experience of dance as a paradigm for a multimodal perception which is investigated in terms of how the association of sound and movement triggers emotions and specific forms of cognition. | Music-Dance Sound and Motion in Contemporary Discourse
