Thomas R. Kane (born March 23, 1924) is a professor emeritus of applied mechanics at Stanford University.[1] In the 1960s, Kane devised a method for formulating equations of motion for complex mechanical systems that requires less labor and leads to simpler equations than the classical approaches, while avoiding the vagueness of virtual quantities. The method is based on the use of partial angular velocities and partial velocities. [2][3][4][5]
