Experiments to identify precision grip dynamics between the index finger and thumb have been performed using a ball-drop experiment. A subject holds a device with a small receptacle into which an object is dropped, and the response is measured (Fagergren, 2000). Assuming a step input, it has been found that the response of the motor subsystem together with the sensory system is of the form
Convert this transfer function to a state-space representation.

In addition, provide the mathematical model of the obtained mechanical system. 2) What is the output of the system in terms of Matrices C and D (if exist).arrow_forward
- 1. For the linkage system show, Link 1 moves along the vertical direction via a linear motor. Link 2 and 3,,dependent on the motion of Link 1, will move accordingly. Perform position analysis using Chace Mehod: Draw the loop closure vectors for the problem. (a) (b) Determine the unknowns. (c) Determine which kinematic case it is (d) Determine equations for the unknowns as function of known variables. (e) Assume link 1 is located 3 inches above the x-y coordinates, and link 2 has a length of 5 inches. Determine the numerical values of the two unknowns for this specific configuration. Link 1 X Link 2 Link 3arrow_forwardExample # 1 For the mechanical system shown, a force of 2 lb( step input) is applied to the system, the mass oscillates, as shown in fig. determi from this response curve. The displacement x is measured from the equilibrium position m, b, k of the system 0.0095 ft 0.1 ft 4 5 (b)arrow_forwardIn a standing posture, the masses of head, upper torso, hips, and legs and the elasticity/ damping of neck, spinal column, abdomen, and legs influence the response characteristics. Develop a sequence of three improved approximations for modeling the human body.arrow_forward
- Help pleasearrow_forwardA velocity of a vehicle is required to be controlled and maintained constant even if there are disturbances because of wind, or road surface variations. The forces that are applied on the vehicle are the engine force (u), damping/resistive force (b*v) that opposing the motion, and inertial force (m*a). A simplified model is shown in the free body diagram below. From the free body diagram, the ordinary differential equation of the vehicle is: m * dv(t)/ dt + bv(t) = u (t) Where: v (m/s) is the velocity of the vehicle, b [Ns/m] is the damping coefficient, m [kg] is the vehicle mass, u [N] is the engine force. Question: Assume that the vehicle initially starts from zero velocity and zero acceleration. Then, (Note that the velocity (v) is the output and the force (w) is the input to the system): 1.
