Abstract:
The paper presents a kinematical model enabling the analysis of mandibular motion in a sagittal plane. Based on the recorded trajectories of incisors, the configuration coordinates were identified. The configuration coordinates explicitly identify the position and orientation of the mandible during motion. Such values are basic to the evaluation of alteration in muscle length and to the orientation of forces in particular muscles. This paper also deals with the influence of the coefficients of the weight matrix on the character of the solutions of the configuration coordinates applied in the model study of the kinematical chain. The results of the numerical calculations obtained demonstrated that the trajectory representation was in a considerable concordance with the data recorded.

Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion
As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the drone...
Relative Motion Analysis - Acceleration
Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...
Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it instrumental in...
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
