MECHANICAL ANALYSIS

MATLAB ANALYSIS

Matlab analysis of the leg linkage mechanism used in the team’s walker / automaton. Plots of the following: (i) torque exerted by the motor to move the walker, and (ii) the X and Y amplitudes of the ground force on the foot as a function of crank angle.

PVA AND DFA ANALYSIS

Detailed calculations (step-bystep, showing all calculations, and stating all assumptions) of a leg linkage mechanism used in the project. Detailed “hand calculations” (in PDF format) show how the Position-Velocity-Acceleration Analysis and Dynamic Force Analysis were performed.
