  2. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    In engineering, for instance, kinematic analysis may be used to find the range of movement for a given mechanism and, working in reverse, using kinematic synthesis to design a mechanism for a desired range of motion. [8] In addition, kinematics applies algebraic geometry to the study of the mechanical advantage of a mechanical system or mechanism.

  3. Kinematics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics_equations

    From this point of view the kinematics equations can be used in two different ways. The first called forward kinematics uses specified values for the joint parameters to compute the end-effector position and orientation. The second called inverse kinematics uses the position and orientation of the end-effector to compute the joint parameters ...

  4. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in...

    These include differential equations, manifolds, Lie groups, and ergodic theory. [4] This article gives a summary of the most important of these. This article lists equations from Newtonian mechanics, see analytical mechanics for the more general formulation of classical mechanics (which includes Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics).

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  6. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    A space curve; the vectors T, N, B; and the osculating plane spanned by T and N. In differential geometry, the Frenet–Serret formulas describe the kinematic properties of a particle moving along a differentiable curve in three-dimensional Euclidean space, or the geometric properties of the curve itself irrespective of any motion.

  7. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Modern kinematics developed with study of electromagnetism and refers all velocities to their ratio to speed of light. Velocity is then interpreted as rapidity , the hyperbolic angle φ {\displaystyle \varphi } for which the hyperbolic tangent function tanh ⁡ φ = v ÷ c {\displaystyle \tanh \varphi =v\div c} .

  8. Forward kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_kinematics

    The kinematics equations for the series chain of a robot are obtained using a rigid transformation [Z] to characterize the relative movement allowed at each joint and separate rigid transformation [X] to define the dimensions of each link. The result is a sequence of rigid transformations alternating joint and link transformations from the base ...

    Thus, the sum of all applied forces and torques (with respect to the origin of the coordinate system) acting on the body can be given as the sum of a volume and surface integral: F = ∫ V a d m = ∫ V a ρ d V = ∫ S t d S + ∫ V b ρ d V {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =\int _{V}\mathbf {a} \,dm=\int _{V}\mathbf {a} \rho \,dV=\int _{S}\mathbf ...
