Sentence examples for mean contact force from inspiring English sources

Contact force chains and mean contact force were calculated using PFC3D DEM simulation, which provided an indication of the capability of the aggregate structure to transmit stresses through aggregate skeleton, and thereby, to resist permanent deformation.

By approximating the directional distributions of contact normal density, mean contact force and mean contact vector with polynomial expansions in unit direction vector n, the directional dependences were characterized by the coefficients of the polynomial functions, i.e., the direction tensors.

Open image in new window Fig. 7 The mean contact force between the deepwater test string and the riser.

The mean contact force between the test string and the riser in a service cycle is displayed in Fig. 7.

Therefore, according to evaluation index system in this study, the maximum contact force between the pantograph and catenary should be less than 79 N, the minimum contact force between the pantograph and catenary should be greater than 44 N, and the optimum mean contact force should also be in the range of 59−10+1010  N [2].

The authors reported that the AO screw led to a significantly increased mean contact force (p < 0.05); however, this increase was 7.6 N – the clinical significance of which is completely uncertain [ 21].

The effects of elastic-plastic material properties and indentation velocity on the deformation behavior are examined in terms of global field parameters (contact force, mean contact pressure, contact area, and indentation depth) and characteristic local field variables (equivalent plastic strain and plastic zone evolution).

Patellofemoral contact force, mean contact pressure, and peak contact pressure were analyzed at each testing angle during simulated suprapatellar, anterior interval, and combined suprapatellar/anterior interval adhesions.

Flexible two-factor linear mixed effects models were constructed to assess the effects of flexion angle and adhesion state on patellofemoral contact force, mean contact pressure, and peak contact pressure.

Patellofemoral contact force, peak contact pressure, mean contact pressure, and patellar translation were measured at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90° of knee flexion (Fig. 2b) under simulated quadriceps muscle activation via the previously described system of weights and pulleys.

Contact pressures generated in sheep are largely comparable to those in humans, although while humans can reach a mean peak contact force of 5.4 times body weight ascending stairs (Taylor et al. 2004) the maximum in vivo contact force measured in sheep is 2.25 times body weight (Patil et al. 2014; Taylor et al. 2006).
