Pull-off forces F were measured as a function of preload and are given in Figure 3.
In this paper, the adhesion of a microstructured surface to peritoneal tissue is investigated as a function of preload, speeds of approach and angle of tilt to the horizontal.
The pull-off force F (absolute value of the maximum detachment force) was plotted as a function of preload P, leading to the identification of the buckling preload Pb.
The pull-off force F (absolute value of the maximum detachment force) was plotted as a function of preload P, leading to the identification of the buckling preload P b.
This concept may lead to the development of adhesion systems which allow precise control of the pull-off force as a function of preload.
FTc is a function of preload, contractility, and vascular input impedance.
This method is then extended to load-dependent systems and is demonstrated with the design of a balanced cross-axis-flexural pivot with stiffness that varies as a function of compressive preload.
Therefore, the present study was designed to explore the dynamic tensile properties of the bovine PDL as a function of loading frequency and preload.
Evidence accumulated over the past 40 years shows that CVP, as a reflection of right ventricular preload, is a poor estimate of left ventricular preload in critically ill patients, and particularly in sepsis [ 10].
The original Vs models derived by seismic prospecting methods (Raptakis. Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering 2012 34: 69–77), similarly performed prior to and after preloading, were used for site amplification estimates as a function of frequency.
