Abstract
Mass properties are important parameters in dynamic systems analysis, but may be difficult to estimate for irregularly-shaped objects. Specifically, the iMachine is designed to analyze manual wheelchairs in an effort to determine the propulsion efficiency using the Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS).
