This paper discusses experiments done as a class assignment in a Dynamics course in order to investigate the relation between the duration of a linear impulse and the energy dissipated during impact. After analysis had been presented in lecture on the relation between work and energy and on the connection between linear impulse and linear momentum, a series of distinct but related projects was ...

Background: Many research give scatterlly distributed relationship between obesity and the medial longitudinal arch of foot. Among those studies, only two studies have stratified the samples in to underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese groups in the recent past, to explore the relationship of BMI to arch of the foot on the basis of gender variation. Yet these studies contradicted each...

The purpose of this study was to identify alterations in preparatory muscle activation patterns across different drop heights in female athletes. Sixteen female high school volleyball players performed the drop vertical jump from three different drop heights. Surface electromyography of the quadriceps and hamstrings were collected during the movement trials. As the drop height increased, muscle...

Stagewise forward mixing model considering coalescence and redispersion of drops was used to predict the performance of Rotating Disc Liquid-Liquid Extraction Contactors. Experimental data previously obtained in two RDC columns of 7.62cm diameter, 73.6cm height and 21.9cm diameter, 150cm height were used to evaluate the model predictions. Drop-side mass transfer coefficients were predicted appl...

In the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (ConCap tray) have been carried out. The ConCap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. The effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the ConCap tray was measured, compared and correlated. The hydraulic experiments w...

an experimental study has been made of the hydrodynamics of a stage mixer-settler to obtain appropriate design information. in this paper several tests were done according to full factorial design of experiments with high reliability, since each test recurs seven times and the results of  them are very close to each other(p=1bar and t=25 °c). sauter diameter in each test is determined with phot...

The basic drill of plyometric training aimed at improving lower limb power and jump height is a drop jump. This exercise can be performed using different techniques, which substantially affects jump variables. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the values of the reactive strength index (RSI) for countermovement drop jumps (CDJs) and bounce drop jumps (BDJs). The study was carried o...
