Chain type system with wave excitation
No full textVarious systems based on waves and vibrations are used for displacing, grouping, classification of multidimensional media and bodies. This paper deals with such wave operation based systems augmented by self-stopping elements which ensure one-directional motion of the driven sub-systems. Such enhancements can improve some dynamical characteristics of the analysed systems. The objective of this paper is to develop models of systems and methods of analysis which would help to reveal nonlinear dynamical properties and phenomena of those systems. The conditions of solutions' existence and stability, basin boundaries are determined. Simpler cases are analysed analytically. The obtained relationships provide insight into nonlinear dynamics of complex systems which are analysed numerically
Surgical treatment of equinus foot deformity in cerebral palsy patients
No full textSince 1997 thirty seven spastic cerebral palsy children (54 feet) with shortening m. triceps surae (soleus and gastocnemius portions) underwent heel cord advancement by simplified technique of Murphy procedure. Good correction of the deformity and gait improvement was obtained in 52 cases (96%). No patient had a recurrence of equines. All patients and his parents are satisfied with results of treatment. It study has documented that heel cord advancement is biomechanicaly- and pathophysiologicaly- grounded procedure for adequate correction and following prevention of equinus deformity. Proposed technique of heel cord advancement is relatively simple minimal invasive and can use for treatment as single or(and) with combination in multilevel operations. Best results of surgical treatment obtained in young child who has non-formed rigid deformation and has no stable pathological gait patterns ye
Development of smart membrane valve based on geometric moiré interferometry
No full textNovel smart membrane valve which functionality is based on optical interference effects caused by moiré interferometry is proposed in this paper. The membrane is comprised from two steel gratings. Geometrical adjustment between adjacent holes in both membranes results in zero flow rate through the valve when no control signal is activated. Rotation of the control membrane generates moiré interference effects which are exploited for flow control. Relationships between the shape and geometric locations of the moiré circles and the control parameters of the second membrane are determined what helps to implement optimal valve control strategie

Changes of the human gait after total hip joint replacement surgery
No full textThe aim of this work was to determine the effect of a hip joint replacement on human locomotion-support apparatus and movement functions. 3D biomechanical model of human locomotion-support system was developed for comparative analysis of the healthy state and the state after total hip replacement operation. The effect of shift of hip joint replacement centre position on human movement and muscles activity patterns was determined by using computational and experimental methods. The results of analysis obtained on the basis of this model and method are presented: it is shown that the change of position of hip joint replacement elements (cup and sphere) has substantial effect on human walking patter

Vibrations of a double wall plane adaptive to electrorheological materials
No full textAn analytical study of vibrations response and control capabilities of an Electrorheological (ER) material-filled double wall plate to random excitation pressure is presented. The governing equations of motion are developed by incorporating the ER material constitutive relations to thin face plate equations. A three-parameter viscoelastic model is used to characterize ER material behaviour in pre-yield regime. The effect of electric field strength on the response of the double wall sandwich plate with ER material is investigated. Numerical results include response spectral densities and modal frequencies for several ER material core thicknesses and different electric field level
Study of robot actuator operating as a system on air films
No full textThe paper analyzes the dynamics of a robot pneumatic actuator. The mechanical system motion is described by a differential equation system when the air flow is expressed by a non-dimensional Prandtl formula. The findings of the digital study are presented. The zones of self-exciting vibrations of the vibrotransducer have been determined, as well as the dependences of amplitudes and frequency upon the supply air pressure. The dependence of the linear movement of the actuator’s gripper device and its velocity on the geometric parameters of the vibrating transducer of the mechanical system is presente
