    If the center of mass is inside the support polygon, calculate static stability by computing the minimum distance of the center of mass to any edge of the polygon. Dynamic stability: dictates the degree to which deviations from periodic movement during walking will result in instability. [14]

  3. Dynamic Stretching Vs. Static Stretching: Health Benefits - AOL

    www.aol.com/dynamic-stretching-vs-static...

    Dynamic stretches are done to warm up before a workout and static stretches are done to cool down. Stretching reduces injury risk, relieves sore muscles and increases flexibility.

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  5. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Humans, like all known things in the universe, are in constant motion; [2]: 8–9 however, aside from obvious movements of the various external body parts and locomotion, humans are in motion in a variety of ways that are more difficult to perceive. Many of these "imperceptible motions" are only perceivable with the help of special tools and ...

  6. Longitudinal stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_stability

    Longitudinal static stability refers to the aircraft's initial tendency on pitching. Dynamic stability refers to whether oscillations tend to increase, decrease or stay constant. [ 3 ]

  7. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_dynamics

    A dynamic load is one which changes with time fairly quickly in comparison to the structure's natural frequency. If it changes slowly, the structure's response may be determined with static analysis, but if it varies quickly (relative to the structure's ability to respond), the response must be determined with a dynamic analysis.

  8. Statics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statics

    Force is the action of one body on another. A force is either a push or a pull, and it tends to move a body in the direction of its action. The action of a force is characterized by its magnitude, by the direction of its action, and by its point of application (or point of contact).

  9. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    The movement of each of the components of the Boulton & Watt Steam Engine (1784) is modeled by a continuous set of rigid displacements. The position of one component of a mechanical system relative to another is defined by introducing a reference frame, say M , on one that moves relative to a fixed frame, F, on the other.
