Researchers from Brown University and their collaborators have developed a new way to measure the properties of cells—an important development, they say, because accurate measurements of changes in ...

Bolted joints are among the most common structural elements in precision machinery. They are used because they are strong, serviceable and reliable. Yet, despite their prevalence, the moment stiffness ...

Abstract: Strict requirements must be met before robotic systems can be implemented in a human environment, for example, as service robots. Robustness, task adaptability, and energy efficiency are key ...

Abstract: Drawing on screw theory and the virtual joint method, this paper presents a general and hierarchical approach for semianalytical stiffness modeling of parallel mechanisms. The stiffness ...

Due to the importance of mechanical processes in biological organisms, there have been a large variety of methods developed to study these processes. However, most of these methods are limited to ...

With the development of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) technology, variable stiffness and damping MRF dampers as semi-active controllers gradually show their unique advantages in the vibration control ...

The stability of the distal osteotomy segment and osteotomy region decreased when the advancement increased. All seven fixation methods displayed favorable biomechanical stability under minor ...

The mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment are incompletely understood but may include arterial stiffness and microvascular dysfunction. In the population-based Maastricht Study, we investigated ...

If you’re in the market for a new tennis racket, then one of the specifications you’ll see listed by retailers is the ‘stiffness’ of a racket. Is this something you need to pay attention to or just ...

Despite the wide recognition of larger artery stiffness as a highly clinically relevant and independent prognostic biomarker, it has yet be incorporated into routine clinical practice and to take a ...
