A 3D ellipsoidal volumetric foot–ground contact model for forward dynamics
(Springer, 2018-04-01)Foot–ground contact models are an important part of forward dynamic biomechanic models, particularly those used to model gait, and have many challenges associated with them. Contact models can dramatically increase the ... -
Foot–ground contact modeling within human gait simulations: from Kelvin–Voigt to hyper-volumetric models
(Springer, 2015-12)This study describes the development of a multibody foot–ground contact model consisting of spherical volumetric models for the surfaces of the foot. The developed model is two-dimensional and consists of two segments, the ... -
Optimal Control and Multibody Dynamic Modelling of Human Musculoskeletal Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)Musculoskeletal dynamics is a branch of biomechanics that takes advantage of interdisciplinary models to describe the relation between muscle actuators and the corresponding motions of the human body. Muscle forces play ...
