Mathematical model of controlled vane hydraulic shock absorber by S. V. Kozeletov, S. V. Saveliev

“…Method of calculation is proposed and theoretical studies are performed on influence of change of volume flow rate of working medium of shock absorber in MR throttle on forces of resistance to rotation on shaft of shock absorber blade.The results of theoretical research. 1) Results of theoretical studies of change of volume flow rate of working medium of controlled hydraulic blade shock absorber are presented. 2) An adequate mathematical model is obtained that is suitable for calculating the characteristics of controlled (adjustable) hydraulic vane shock absorbers, where magnetorheological fluid is used as the working medium of the shock absorber, as well as for selecting control action in the control system. Conclusion. The results of the study are intended for organizations and enterprises engaged in the development and production of heavy high-speed tracked vehicles.The results of the studies can be used to refine the methodology for estimating the smoothness of the heavy high-speed tracked vehicles.…”

The Neuromusculoskeletal Modeling Pipeline: MATLAB-based model personalization and treatment optimization functionality for OpenSim by Claire V. Hammond, Spencer T. Williams, Marleny M. Vega, Di Ao, Geng Li, Robert M. Salati, Kayla M. Pariser, Mohammad S. Shourijeh, Ayman W. Habib, Carolynn Patten, Benjamin J. Fregly

“…An NMSM Pipeline use case is presented for an individual post-stroke with impaired walking function, where the goal was to predict how the subject’s neural control could be changed to improve walking speed without increasing metabolic cost. First the Model Personalization toolset was used to develop a personalized neuromusculoskeletal model of the subject starting from a generic OpenSim full-body model and experimental walking data (video motion capture, ground reaction, and electromyography) collected from the subject at his self-selected speed. …”
