Even when making functional, floor-filling filter house in their earlier days, they'd give things a little bit of a tweak on the nose.
In this study, a multi-functional floor isolation system (FIS) that consists of several variable-stiffness sliding isolators, called polynomial friction pendulum isolators (PFPIs), is proposed and studied experimentally and numerically.
Under the soapsuds-covered wet condition, floors with 50 μm in Ra roughness scale seemed to represent an upper bound in the functional range of floor surface roughness for slip resistance because further increase of surface roughness provided no additional benefit.
Although approaches focused on functional analysis of floor features have drawn valuable guidelines at this respect, the main problem remains unsolved.
This pilot study aimed to investigate slip resistance properties and identify functional levels of floor surface roughness for practical design applications in reducing the risk of slip and fall incidents.
The main house is comfortable, yet unspectacular; it looks like a modest ski lodge, airy and filled with light, but the furniture is absolutely ordinary, functional, and the floors are carpeted in plain, almost industrial, colors.
These elegant rugs are both stylish and functional, sparing the floors the trauma of high heels and heavy shoes that could leave dents.
Chronic constipation is categorized into three groups by assessment of colonic transit and anorectal function; normal transit or irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic floor dysfunction (functional defecatory disorders) and slow transit constipation [ 36].
Disability and Physical Function (PF) outcome assessment has had limited ability to measure functional status at the floor (very poor functional abilities) or the ceiling (very high functional abilities).
Light and functional,with largely open floor plans, the little houses were built using only sustainable materials such aluminium cork and wood.
