An object-oriented approach to simulating human gait motion based on motion tracking

Martin Tändl, Tobias Stark, Nihat Ercümet Erol, Franz Löer, Andrés Kecskeméthy (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Accurate bone motion reconstruction from marker tracking is still an open and challenging issue in biomechanics. Presented in this paper is a novel approach to gait motion reconstruction based on kinematical loops and functional skeleton features extracted from segmented Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. The method uses an alternative path for concatenating relative motion starting at the feet and closing at the hip joints. From the evaluation of discrepancies between predicted...

Semantic incommensurability and empirical comparability : the case of Lorentz and Einstein

Martin Carrier (2004)

Philosophia Scientiae

Similarity:

Semantic incommensurability is understood as non-translatability of concepts taken from different theories. My aim is to give a rational reconstruction of the notion of incommensurability underlying the writings of Feyerabend and the later Kuhn. I claim that incommensurability can be reconstructed on this basis as a coherent conception and that relevant instances can be identified. The translation failure between incommensurable concepts arises from the impossibility to jointly fulfil...

On implicit constitutive theories

Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In classical constitutive models such as the Navier-Stokes fluid model, and the Hookean or neo-Hookean solid models, the stress is given explicitly in terms of kinematical quantities. Models for viscoelastic and inelastic responses on the other hand are usually implicit relationships between the stress and the kinematical quantities. Another class of problems wherein it would be natural to develop implicit constitutive theories, though seldom resorted to, are models for bodies that are...

A theorem for rigid motions in Post-Newtonian celestial mechanics.

Similarity:

The velocity field distribution for rigid motions in the Born?s sense applied to Post-Newtonian Relativistic Celestial Mechanics is examined together with its compatibility with the Newtonian distribution.
