tension-leg platform (tlp) is a vertically moored floating structure. the platform is permanently mooredby tendons. surge equation of motion of tlp is highly nonlinear because of large displacement and it should be solved with perturbation parameter in time domain. this paper compare the dynamic motion responses of a tlp in regular sea waves obtained by applying three method in time domain usin...

Compliant elements in the leg musculoskeletal system appear to be important not only for running but also for walking in human locomotion as shown in the energetics and kinematics studies of spring-mass model. While the spring-mass model assumes a whole leg as a linear spring, it is still not clear how the compliant elements of muscle-tendon systems behave in a human-like segmented leg structur...

STUDY DESIGN A descriptive cadaveric study measuring arterial tension. OBJECTIVE Anterior lumbar surgery is technically challenging due to perioperative vascular complications. Many studies suggest approaches based on the anatomy of the abdominal vessel for safe vascular mobilization. However, the tension in the vascular structure is also important for adequate exposure of the target lesion. ...

In 15 patients with spastic hemiparesis the development of tension of calf muscles in relation to their electrical activation and their stretching period was studied on both sides during locomotion. Only in the spastic leg did isolated small biphasic potentials appear in the gastrocnemius E.M.G. with monosynaptic latency at the beginning of the stance phase, while the remaining gastrocnemius ac...
