Recent findings related to the control strategies underlying voluntary arm trajectory formation in monkeys will be presented. The respective roles of central preprogramming of movements and feedback modulation from peripheral sensory organs will be discussed. A computer simulation based on mathematicalmodelling and dynamic optimization of the motion will be presented which predicts observed behaviour within experimental error. The same analysis also predicts observed behaviour of monkeys and humans under widely varying task conditions. Applications to the control of prostheses and manipulators will be discussed.

This paper is the combination of three separate discussion documents, presented amongst others at a parallel session at the Ergonomics Society Annual conference, 1979, at Oxford. The discussion documents were general in tone and followed logically after one another, and the authors were asked to provide a joint paper for wider dissemination. This is the product, and represents a more-or-less common viewpoint between the authors (and others — it will no doubt be obvious that much of what is said has already been said by Chapanis (1961, 1967) in particular, in his usual elegant prose).

The availability of digital computers capable of numerical solution of very large systems of differential equations has permitted the development of mathematical models capable of explaining many features of human locomotion. This study surveys the state of knowledge with respect to such models, both with regard to their relevance to the understanding of neural control mechanisms and to possible clinical uses. Special attention is given to alternative methods for deriving the equations of motion for the musculo-skeletal system. Although planar models are emphasized, a summary of available results for three-dimensional motion simulation and analysis is presented. Experimental results obtained from a computer-based instrumentation system utilizing both force and motion measurements are included.

Vibration problems dealing with advanced mathematical and Numerical Techniques have extensive application in a wide class of problems in ae- nautics, aerodynamics, space science and technology, off-shore engineering and in the design of different structural components of high speed space crafts and nuclear reactors. Different classes of vibration problems dealing with complex geometries and non-linear behaviour require careful attention of scientists and engineers in pursuit of their research activities. Almost all fields of engineering, Science and Technology, ranging from small domestic building subjected to earthquake and cyclone to the space craft venturing towards different planets, from giant ship to human skeleton, encounter problems of vibration and dynamic loading. This being truly an interdisciplinary field, where the mathematicians, phy- cists and engineers could interface their innovative ideas and creative thoughts to arrive at an appropriate solution, Bengal engineering and Science University, Shibpur, India, a premier institution for education and research in engineering, science and technology felt it appropriate to organize 8th International C- ference on “Vibration Problems (ICOVP-2007)” as a part of its sesquicentenary celebration. The conference created a platform and all aspects of vibration phenomenon with the focus on the state-of-the art in theoretical, experimental and applied research areas were addressed and the scientific interaction, p- ticipated by a large gathering including eminent personalities and young research workers, generated many research areas and innovative ideas.

The methods of information theory as applied in statistical mechanics are used to evolve a mathematical model of muscle behaviour. The resulting predictions are compared with tension recordings and electromyograms from intact human muscles undergoing voluntary isometric contraction.

This book addresses interconnections between contemporary advances in mathematics, especially algebra, with applications in the social sciences and the arts. It promotes the idea that knowledge cannot remain in disciplinary silos, rather, it belongs to all people, and is dedicated to associative relationships in a variety of mathematics applications, from sociology to linguistics, including anthropology, semiotics, education, and cognitive science. Contributions illuminate some of the ways in which algebra is developed, learned, understood, communicated, and applied in the social sciences and the humanities.;The content in this book has its origins in a conference, Mathematics for Social Sciences and Arts–Algebraic modelling, virtually hosted by the Faculty of Mechanical engineering, University of Niš, Serbia, from the 24th to the 26th of May, 2021. This conference brought together scholars from various disciplines and geographic regions and focused on thejuxtaposition of algebra and social science applications. The conference organizers, higher education institutes from four different continents, invited leading scientists in social sciences and algebra, to contribute to this volume.;The first part of this book addresses algebraic and mathematical thinking, specifically learning and practicing mathematics from a cognitive science perspective, as well as illustrative applications to distinctly human concerns, like education and semiotics. The second part focuses on algebraic semigroups and some of their generalizations. This book and the conference that engendered it provide an example of a fruitful collaboration, in which the skills and deep knowledge of algebraic structures, modeling, social sciences and arts brought in by the authors from different countries and continents merge in harmonious ways. These expositions are a rich resource and are of interest both to mathematicians and non-mathematicians.
