Hula-Hoop-Research-Program

Analytical and Numerical Study on Hula-Hoop Dynamics and Levitation Condition May 2019 - current l Constructed a model of hula hoop motion based on Lagrangian Mechanics and implemented a simulation program in Matlab to solve the problem numerically l Used high speed camera video-tracking techniques to record and capture hoop’s motion information at each millisecond, and implemented algorithms that analyzed 16050 frames to track the exact motion condition of hoop and body and to calculate the sagging angle of hoop l Implemented visualization program that recorded and reflected 25,000+ experiment video frame at real time l Concluded general conditions of hula hoop levitation in equilibrium and stability analysis in three dimension using Coriolis Force and Lagrangian optimization
