Development Of A Velocity Metric For Rigid-Body Planar Motion, Luis Ernesto Criales Escobar
Development Of A Velocity Metric For Rigid-Body Planar Motion, Luis Ernesto Criales Escobar
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Two motions of motion quality have been developed for planar motion. They are the "best motion measure" and the "velocity metric". The "best motion measure" identifies the best motion for a given displacement. The "velocity metric" quantifies the discrepancy between two planar motions for the same rigid body.
The best motion measure compares the motion of each particle on the body to an "ideal", but usually unobtainable, motion. This ideal motion moves each particle from its current position to its desired position on a straight-line path. Although the ideal motion is not a valid rigid body motion, this does not …
