It traverses at a speed greater than theforwardspeed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is subject to the assumptions of lowforwardspeedand negligible waterline integral.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Here we make use of the assumption of lowforwardspeedto derive a simpler formulation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Equations for the forces are obtained which contain an integral over the free surface of the potential withoutforwardspeed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, the robot was able to regulate bothforwardspeedand hopping height using only one actuator.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Also, they ensured convergence of the machine to a givenforwardspeedby controlling event-wise foot placement algorithm.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Their core control objectives were regulation of theforwardspeedat lift-off and forward acceleration during the stance phase.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The stable solution is characterized by a reducedforwardspeed, a smaller step length, and a more upright trunk position.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Stochastic mapping and a single aft thruster for propulsion, moving at a nominalforwardspeedof 2.5 m/s.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In addition to simplifying the problem, the present formulation can also provide useful insight into the low-forward-speedbehaviour of more general analyses, intended for any value offorwardspeed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Another difficulty arises when one attempts to develop the general formulation for an arbitrary body withforwardspeedat the free surface.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We then show that to calculate the hydrodynamic force on the or advancing body we only need the solution withoutforwardspeed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The present formulation, however, is always stable and the numerical solution should therefore tend to the correct limit as theforwardspeedtends to zero.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Numerous attempts have been reported that aim to maintain some desired hopping height,forwardspeed, body orientation, etc., at certain phases of the hopping cycle.
From theCambridge English Corpus
General expressions are obtained for the added mass and damping of two- and three-dimensional bodies a t lowforwardspeed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
One approach is to exploit any simplifications made possible by considering the case of lowforwardspeedat which many merchant ships operate.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The terms proportional toforwardspeedinclude integrals over the free surface and a contribution from the intersection of the free surface and the body.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The origin of the coordinates is located on the undisturbed free surface, and moves with the body a t the sameforwardspeed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The trajectory generator calculates trajectories represented by polynomials based on objective locomotion parameters, which are averageforwardspeed, step length, step height and intermediate foot lift.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We also have imposed a lower bound on the trunkforwardspeedat all points, and bounds on the leg inclination angle at touchdown and liftoff instants.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It will go up vertically and then have theforwardspeedof an orthodox fast aircraft.
