The differences in structural response to near-fault pulse-like, near-fault non pulse-like, and far-fault ground motions are examined based on elastic and inelastic response spectra. As a first step, the criteria to identify ...

For a new class of elastic bodies, where the linearized strain tensor is given as a function of the Cauchy stress tensor, the problem of considering unsteady motions is studied. A system of partial differential equations ...

In this paper, a load transport system in platforms is considered. It is a transport device and is modelled as an inverted pendulum built on a car driven by a DC motor. The motion equations were obtained by Lagrange's ...

Human motion capture systems are being increasingly studied in the area of computer vision and also by major entertainment industries. These systems are able to track the position and orientation of joints of the body and ...

The dynamics of a pair of satellites similar to Enceladus-Dione is investigated with a two-degrees-of-freedom model written in the domain of the planar general three-body problem. Using surfaces of section and spectral ...

The goals of this study were to examine the visual information influence on body sway as a function of self- and object-motion perception and visual information quality. Participants that were aware (object-motion) and ...

Motion capture (Mocap) is a concept based on capturing the motion of an object or person from the real world, in order to reproduce such motion on characters in virtual environment or provide interaction with systems or ...
