measurement of the loads exerted on the limb is a fundamental part of designing of an assistive device, which has been done by using strain gauges or a transducer. although calculation of loads applied on an orthosis coefficients achieved from calibration is a standard way, most of researchers determined the loads based on available equations. therefore, the aim of this research is finding the ...

abstract: introduction & objective: teaching human anatomy, at any level, relies not only on the expertise of a tutor but also on the availability and use of good teaching aids. plastination specimens have a unique position as a teaching aid to exhibit accurate anatomical structures and are easy to be stored and handled by students. the aim of this study was to assess the comparative use of pol...

Dynamic Analysis of an axially moving cable with time dependent tension and velocity isstudied in this paper. Tension force and the moving speed are assumed to be harmonic.It is found that there exists a specific value of speed in which natural frequency of the system approacheszero. This specific speed for such a critical condition is called critical speed and it will be proved thatincreasing ...

Abstract: In this study an algorithm for mold-filling simulation with consideration of surface tension has been developed based on a SOLA VOF scheme. As the governing equations, the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible and laminar flows were used. We proposed a way of considering surface tension in mold-filling simulation. The proposed scheme for surface tension was based on the conti...

UNLABELLED Gap-dependent total knee arthroplasty involves applying a tension force to open the joint space. Intuitively, this force is dependent on the degree of joint deformity. AIM The study aims at determining the amount of force and its influence on morphological parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a group of 70 patients in whom total knee arthroplasty was performed ligament tension for...

in this paper coupled nonlinear equations of motion of a suspended cable with time dependent tension and velocity are derived by using hamilton’s principal. a modal analysis for a stationary sagged cable is initially carried out in order to identify the dynamic system. the natural solution is directed to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the free vibration of a suspended cable....

Abstract In this paper interparticle potential model of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to simulate deformation and breakup of a falling droplet under gravity force. First this model is applied to ensure that the surface tension effect is properly implemented in this model. Two tests have been considered. First, it has been checked an initial square drop in a 2D domain can freely def...
