Non-Slender <i>n</i>-Link Chain Driven by Single-Joint and Multi-Joint Muscle Actuators: Closed-Form Dynamic Equations and Joint Reaction Forces

The author has derived the closed-form dynamic equations for a planar musculoskeletal chain composed of a generic number <i>n</i> of rigid links connected by ideal revolute joints. Single-joint and multi-joint muscles have been modeled as linear force actuators that can span from one joi...
