resilient modulus of pavement materials is a key property required for the pavement thickness design. this paper describes the results of an experimental study on the effects of temperature and loading frequency on the resilient modulus of a sbs polymer modified asphalt concrete under dry and saturated conditions. dynamic creep tests were conducted on dry and saturated specimens of the mixture ...

the mechanical strength of cumin seed and the effects of moisture content, seed size, speed and direction of loading on the force and energy required to fracture cumin seed were investigated. the results showed that moisture and loading direction were significant at the 1% level on the force and energy required to fracture cumin seed. the effects of seed size on force and loading speed on energ...

While inertial measurement units (IMU) have become an integral part of sports performance analysis, upper body-mounted IMUs been found to exhibit poor reliability in measuring lower-limb loading. In racket sports, placed a number positions on the body, lower body and research setting. A potential limitation concurrent use multiple is that coaches may be reluctant allow their athletes wear durin...
