In classical mechanics, the Udwadia–Kalaba formulation is a method for deriving the equations of motion of a constrained mechanical system. [1] [2] The method was first described by Anatolii Fedorovich Vereshchagin [3] [4] for the particular case of robotic arms, and later generalized to all mechanical systems by Firdaus E. Udwadia and Robert E. Kalaba in 1992. [5]
Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Curve fitting can involve either interpolation , [ 6 ] [ 7 ] where an exact fit to the data is required, or smoothing , [ 8 ] [ 9 ] in which a "smooth ...
The linear term in jω in this transfer function can be derived by the following method, which is an application of the open-circuit time constant method to this example. Set the signal source to zero. Select capacitor C 2, replace it by a test voltage V X, and replace C 1 by an open circuit.
The reason of over-constraint is the unique geometry of linkages in these mechanisms, which the mobility formula does not take into account. This unique geometry gives rise to "redundant constraints", i.e. when multiple joints are constraining the same degrees of freedom. These redundant constraints are the reason of the over-constraint.
A symmetric layout of Charlieplexed LEDs. On left, 3 pins drive 6 LEDs arranged in a triangle. On right, 4 pins drive 12 LEDs arranged in a tetrahedron.. The Charlieplexing configuration may be viewed as a directed graph, where the drive pins are vertices and the LEDs are directed edges; there is an outward-pointing edge connected from each vertex to each other vertex, hence with n drive pins ...
Constraint propagation in constraint satisfaction problems is a typical example of a refinement model, and formula evaluation in spreadsheets are a typical example of a perturbation model. The refinement model is more general, as it does not restrict variables to have a single value, it can lead to several solutions to the same problem.
Freedom and constraint topologies (a.k.a., freedom, actuation, and constraint topologies; or simply FACT) [1] [2] [3] is a mechanical design framework developed by Dr. Jonathan B. Hopkins. The framework offers a library of vector spaces with visual representations to guide the analysis and synthesis of flexible systems.
A constraint logic program is a logic program that contains constraints in the bodies of clauses. As an example, the clause A(X):-X>0,B(X) is a clause containing the constraint X>0 in the body. Constraints can also be present in the goal.
