Description: Application of the principles of kinematics to mechanisms. Graphical and semi-graphical methods are used to determine displacements, velocities and accelerations in common mechanisms.

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

Background We have identified that a slip-catch situation is the main mechanism for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in World Cup alpine skiing by simple visual inspection of injury videos.
