kinematic
Meaning: Relating to kinematics — the branch of mechanics concerned with the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.
Kinematic analysis describes how bodies move through space in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration, deliberately setting aside questions of mass and force. It is foundational in robotics, biomechanics, and vehicle dynamics. In sports science, kinematic studies use motion capture to analyse running gait or throwing technique. The adjective frequently collocates with 'chain,' 'analysis,' 'model,' and 'viscosity.'
Examples
- The research team conducted a kinematic analysis of sprinting technique using high-speed cameras at Loughborough University. 该研究团队在拉夫堡大学使用高速摄像机对短跑技术进行了运动学分析。El equipo de investigación realizó un análisis cinemático de la técnica de esprint mediante cámaras de alta velocidad en la Universidad de Loughborough.ラフバラ大学の研究チームは高速カメラを用いて短距離走の技術の運動学的分析を行った。러프버러 대학교의 연구팀은 고속 카메라를 이용하여 단거리 달리기 기술의 운동학적 분석을 수행했다.
- Kinematic viscosity is a key parameter in determining how lubricants behave at different operating temperatures. 运动粘度是确定润滑剂在不同工作温度下行为特性的关键参数。La viscosidad cinemática es un parámetro clave para determinar el comportamiento de los lubricantes a distintas temperaturas de funcionamiento.動粘度は、潤滑油がさまざまな動作温度でどのように振る舞うかを決定する重要なパラメータです。동점도는 윤활유가 다양한 작동 온도에서 어떻게 거동하는지를 결정하는 핵심 매개변수입니다.
- The robotics module requires students to solve kinematic equations for a six-degree-of-freedom manipulator arm. 机器人学模块要求学生求解六自由度机械臂的运动学方程。El módulo de robótica exige a los alumnos resolver ecuaciones cinemáticas de un brazo manipulador con seis grados de libertad.ロボット工学の授業では、6自由度のマニピュレータアームの運動学方程式を解くことが求められます。로봇공학 수업에서는 학생들에게 6자유도 매니퓰레이터 팔의 운동학 방정식을 풀도록 요구합니다.
