Dear Sirs,
I am working on my PhD on the Control System Laboratory
of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the National
Technical Universoty of Athens, Greece.
I am in the need of the moment of inertia value of the
forearm-hand segment of the human uuper limb.
I have computed this by using the equations provided in the
book of David Winter : Biomechanics and Motor Control of Human Movement.
But the value I have reached up is 0.23 Kgm^2, which I think is
much greater than I have came up in other papers.
I would like to ask you if you can inform me if this value
it's ok , and if you can, send me the right value.
If you can, I would be very gratefull to receive from you
the above papers:
Zatsiorsky, V. and Selujanov V. (1983) The mass and inertia
characteristics of the man segments
of the human body. Biomechanics YIII-B (Eds.=A0 Matsui, H., and Kobayashi K.)
pp. 1151-1159. Human Kinetic Publishers, (Ok, I know its a book, but
do you have it all or this portion (pp 1151-1159) in pdf format?)
Walsh E. G. & Wright G. W. (1987a) 'Inertia, resonant frequency,
stiffness and kinetic energy of the human forearm.' Quarterly Journal
of Experimental Physiology, 72, 161-170.
Finally I would like to ask another question.
As I am building a dynamic model of the human forearm-hand,
I would like to know if I have to add friction on the elbow
joint (flexion-extension is the only degree of freedom I am
interestd in for now). And if I must do it, is it like:
Friction = K * q_dot, where q_dot is the angular velocity
of the moving forearm-hand?
And what is the value of the constant K?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Panagiotis Artemiadis
