Linear Approximation in Time Domain01:21

Linear Approximation in Time Domain

125
Nonlinear systems often require sophisticated approaches for accurate modeling and analysis, with state-space representation being particularly effective. This method is especially useful for systems where variables and parameters vary with time or operating conditions, such as in a simple pendulum or a translational mechanical system with nonlinear springs.
For a simple pendulum with a mass evenly distributed along its length and the center of mass located at half the pendulum's length,...

Excitation-Contraction Coupling in Skeletal Muscles

9.6K
Excitation-contraction coupling is a series of events that occur between generating an action potential and initiating a muscle contraction. It occurs at the triad, a structure found in skeletal muscle fibers that comprise a T-tubule and terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum on each side. These triads are visible in longitudinally sectioned muscle fibers. They are typically located at the A-I junction — the junction between the A and I bands of the sarcomere.
When an action...

The second kinematic equation expresses the final position of an object in terms of its initial position, the distance traveled with the initial constant velocity, and the distance traveled due to a change in velocity. Similar to the first kinematic equation, this equation is also only valid when the acceleration is constant throughout the motion of an object.
Suppose a car merges into freeway traffic on a 200 m long ramp. If its initial velocity is 10 m/s and it accelerates at 2 m/s2, then the...

Kinematic Equations - III

8.5K
The first two kinematic equations have time as a variable, but the third kinematic equation is independent of time. This equation expresses final velocity as a function of the acceleration and distance over which it acts. The fourth kinematic equation does not have an acceleration term and provides the final position of the object at time t in terms of the initial and final velocities. This equation is useful when the value of the constant acceleration is unknown.
Using the kinematic equations,...

Kinematic Equations - I

12.0K
When an object moves with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object changes at a constant rate throughout the motion. The kinematic equations of motions are derived for such cases where the acceleration of the object is constant. The first kinematic equation gives an insight into the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and time. We can see, for example:

Kinematic Equations: Problem Solving

14.4K
When analyzing one-dimensional motion with constant acceleration, the problem-solving strategy involves identifying the known quantities and choosing the appropriate kinematic equations to solve for the unknowns. Either one or two kinematic equations are needed to solve for the unknowns, depending on the known and unknown quantities. Generally, the number of equations required is the same as the number of unknown quantities in the given example. Two-body pursuit problems always require two...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Rehabilitation Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate human motion estimation is crucial for electromyography (EMG) signal-driven neural-machine interfaces (NMIs).
    • Varying external loads significantly impact the performance of EMG-based NMIs, often due to unaddressed changes in muscle co-contraction.
    • Existing EMG-driven musculoskeletal models (MMs) show limitations in robustness across different loading conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a robust EMG-driven state-space model for estimating hand and wrist movements.
    • To enhance the performance of NMIs across diverse loading conditions without requiring retraining.
    • To address the challenge of load-induced variations in muscle co-contraction affecting EMG-based motion estimation.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed an EMG-driven state-space model incorporating a musculoskeletal model (MM) with variable joint stiffness as the state model.
    • Utilized a back-propagation neural network as the observation model to map state variables to EMG features.
    • Trained the model exclusively on zero-load data and validated its performance across four distinct loading conditions.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed model, trained on zero-load data, achieved performance comparable to conventional MMs trained on load-specific data.
    • Significantly outperformed conventional MMs trained solely on zero-load data across varying loads.
    • Demonstrated improved robustness and accuracy of EMG-based interfaces under different loading conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed EMG-driven state-space model effectively improves the robustness and accuracy of human motion estimation for NMIs.
    • The method offers a promising solution for NMIs operating in daily activities with variable external loads.
    • Validates the potential of state-space modeling and neural networks for adaptive EMG-based motion tracking.
