It is found that the numerical model gives a good prediction of the maximum measured tensile force (Fmax) and initial buckling load (Fc) with the mean values being 0.93 and 0.95 of those measured in the physical tests, respectively.
Maximum isometric force was determined by measuring force after perfusing the experimental chamber with, successively, pCa 9.0 and pCa 4.5 solutions.
Experiment data Calculated value from maximum motor torque and measured efficiency Force (N) Torque (mNm) Force (N) Torque (mNm) 1st axis 6.9 138.6 6.6 132.4 2nd axis 5.1 71.4 5.9 82.6 3rd axis 5.0 70.0 5.0 75.0.
The measured maximum pulling force in the die was approximately 80 N.
Consequently, the effective training load was adjusted according to the weekly measured maximum isometric force of the subject.
The coefficients of lateral earth pressure, K and depth relationship were proposed based on the analysis of measured maximum tensile force in the reinforcements.
The performance of the lubricants were evaluated based on: (a) maximum punch force measured, (b) the maximum applicable blank holder force (BHF), (c) the draw-in length, (d) the perimeter of flange after test, (e) the change of surface roughness, and (f) the inspection of surface topography.
