The pattern of joint involvement is RA-like and is accompanied by prominent morning stiffness, thus posing a diagnostic challenge in patients presenting with acute-onset polyarthritis.
Influences of cable distribution and platform pose on stiffness are identified by using the stiffness index – the reflector surface accuracy and the minimal eigenvalue.
For a particular pose, a stiffness-oriented tension resolution algorithm is proposed to optimize the tension distribution to achieve an isotropic stiffness matrix with high stiffness magnitude.
The lightweight foam cored sandwiches though add stiffness, at the same time pose a challenge for design as the difference in stiffness of both the face-plate and the foam core is very high.
Multiplanar foot deformities in neurological disorders that are associated with severe joint stiffness and soft tissue contractures pose a significant challenge to the use of conventional corrective methods, such as osteotomies, triple arthrodesis or talectomy.
In this study, the objective is to maximize the maximum translational and rotational stiffnesses when the robot is at a specific pose.
The pose stretches your groin and hamstrings as well as resolving stiffness in your shoulders and back.
As with all posing, avoid stiffness.
On account of stiffness, numerical simulations have been performed for acquiring the optimal distribution of tension cables and pose of the platform in the design of antennas.
A promising solution to the inherent contradiction between high stiffness and reversible deformation capacity posed by morphing is offered by introducing variable stiffness components.
