Sentence examples for cushion depth from inspiring English sources
Digital cushion depth was measured ultrasonically through the superficial frog.
There was no effect (P ≥ 0.47) of d or treatment on digital cushion depth; however, on d 42 of each of the phases, mean digital cushion depth was greater (P < 0.01) in the barefoot phases compared with the SD phase.
Factors that influence the consistency in dirt tracks include homogeneity of surface material composition, moisture content, and cushion depth.
Both racecourses participate in the Maintenance Quality System program, where a series of daily measurements – moisture, cushion depth and other measures of track consistency, in addition to surface composition and mechanical testing – are taken and added to an online database.
Twelve mature American Quarter Horses (450 572 kg) were used in a switchback design for a 140-d trial to determine the effects of shoeing on joints of the forelimb and digital cushion depth.
The influence of cushion depth on the dynamic load and accelerations experienced by the horse at a range of moisture levels typical to operating conditions (14%, 16%, and 18% gravimetric for the material tested in this work), and surface maintenance conditions (sealed and harrowed), is addressed.
The tested material behaved more similarly at the two cushion depths under moisture conditions at which maximum dry density occurred (16%).
A biomechanical surface tester, designed to simulate the forelimb impact of a galloping thoroughbred horse, was repeatedly dropped on five different surface conditions, each at two cushion depths (100 mm and 150 mm).
These cushion depths and surface material moisture levels are within normal operating conditions for thoroughbred race meetings on shallow sand tracks and therefore may influence the development of musculoskeletal disease and the safety of horses and jockeys.
The negative correlation seemed stronger for heavier rains, indicating the cushioning effects of flow depth.
The platform is taken to be circular, and the depth of the cushion is assumed to be much less than its diameter.
