A linear displacement of the rib space will therefore not produce a linear displacement of muscle fibers.
Since liquids are nearly incompressible, a hydraulic cylinder can provide controlled precise linear displacement of the piston.
Rotary motion of the motor is converted to linear displacement.
By connecting linkages to the nut, the motion can be converted to usable linear displacement.
You seek position of linear displacement, yes.
In mechanics, proper rigid transformations in a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, denoted SE(3), are used to represent the linear and angular displacement of rigid bodies.
In a robot design, they could be angles of relative rotations, linear displacements, or deformations of joints.
Linear dashpots are generally specified by stroke (amount of linear displacement) and damping coefficient (force per velocity).
These indicators actually measure angular displacement and not linear displacement; linear distance is correlated to the angular displacement based on the correlating variables.
