  2. Gerard of Brussels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_of_Brussels

    Gerard of Brussels (French: Gérard de Bruxelles, Latin: Gerardus Bruxellensis) was an early thirteenth-century geometer and philosopher known primarily for his Latin book Liber de motu (On Motion), which was a pioneering study in kinematics, probably written between 1187 and 1260. It has been described as "the first Latin treatise that was to ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies ...

  4. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    Kinematics is the study of how objects move, whether they are mechanical or living. In animal locomotion, kinematics is used to describe the motion of the body and limbs of an animal. The goal is ultimately to understand how the movement of individual limbs relates to the overall movement of an animal within its environment.

  5. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    Screw theory is the algebraic calculation of pairs of vectors, also known as dual vectors [1] – such as angular and linear velocity, or forces and moments – that arise in the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies. [2] [3]

  6. Kinetics (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics_(physics)

    [1] [2] [3] Since the mid-20th century, the term "dynamics" (or "analytical dynamics") has largely superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks, [4] though the term is still used in engineering. In plasma physics , kinetics refers to the study of continua in velocity space.

  7. Kinematic pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_pair

    In classical mechanics, a kinematic pair is a connection between two physical objects that imposes constraints on their relative movement . German engineer Franz Reuleaux introduced the kinematic pair as a new approach to the study of machines [ 1 ] that provided an advance over the notion of elements consisting of simple machines .

  9. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    In kinematics, a five-bar linkage is a mechanism with two degrees of freedom that is constructed from five links that are connected together in a closed chain. All links are connected to each other by five joints in series forming a loop. One of the links is the ground or base. [1]
