Measurements of the magnetization of DyAgSb2 reveal a complex system of up to 11 well-defined metamagnetic states for the field applied within the basal plane. Measurements of the magnetization vs the angle the applied field makes with respect to the @110# axis show the Dy moments are constrained to lie along one of the four @110# directions within the basal plane. From the angular dependence o...

Knee varus position and motion have been correlated with increased medial knee loading during gait. The purpose of this study is to determine whether runners with excessive varus excursion (EVE) at the knee demonstrate frontal plane knee and hip kinetics that are different from those of runners with normal varus excursion (NVE). Twelve runners with EVE were compared with 12 NVE subjects using t...

Moments are generic and (usually) intuitive descriptors that can be computed from several kinds of objects defined either from closed contours (continuous object) or a set of points (discrete object). In this paper, we propose to use moments to design a decoupled image-based visual servo. The analytical form of the interaction matrix related to the moments computed for a discrete object is deri...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES To determine if runners with a history of Achilles tendonopathy (AT) demonstrate a difference in transverse-plane motion and moments at the distal tibia and knee compared to runners without a history of AT. BACKGROUND One of the more prevalent overuse running injuries is AT. It has been hypothesized that prolonged pronation causes contradi...

the current study presents a new analytical method for buckling analysis of circular plates with constant thickness and poisson’s ratio, made of functionally graded material subjected to radial load. governing equations are based on energy method for thin plates. the boundary conditions of the plate are assumed to be simply supported and clamped. the stability equations were obtained by using c...
