Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of a cantilever beam attached to a moving base
TL;DR: An algorithm is created that can be used to predict the behavior of the beam when the base undergoes general three-dimensional motions, and fundamental flaws in certain multibody computer programs currently under development or already in use are drawn attention to.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Kane's Dynamical Equations in Robotics:
Thomas R. Kane,David A. Levinson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how improvements in computational efficiency can be effected by using Kane's dynamical equations to formulate explicit equations of motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formulation of Equations of Motion for Complex Spacecraft
Thomas R. Kane,David A. Levinson +1 more
TL;DR: This article aims to answer the following question that is clearly central in this context: "What are the relative advantages of various methods available for the formulation of equations of motion of complex spacecraft?"
Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamical explanation of the falling cat phenomenon
Thomas R. Kane,M.P. Scher +1 more
TL;DR: Two body mechanical systems operating within dynamics laws simulating backward and forward bending motions of falling cat are shown in this paper. But they do not describe the behavior of the falling cat.
