Inverse Kinematic Problem Solving: A Symbolic Approach Using MapleSim and Maple
In multibody mechanics, the motion analysis for a platform (the kinematics problem) can be classified into two cases: the forward kinematics problem and the inverse kinematics problem. For the forward kinematics problem, the trajectory of a point on a mechanism (for example, the end effector of a robot arm or the center of a platform [...]
Transmission Modeling and Simulation with MapleSim™
As automotive manufacturers strive to improve fuel-efficiency of their vehicles, much of the focus is on the engine as the primary source of power loss during fuel combustion. However, there is arguably as much loss through the transmission. Engineers are putting a lot of effort into assessing exactly how much power is lost, and what [...]
