Sentence examples for pad stiffness from inspiring English sources

To evaluate significant differences in heel pad stiffness within a cohort of runners with diagnosed plantar heel pain and to explore the clinical importance of maximum heel pad stiffness values.

Starting from one existing track design, this optimum pad stiffness has been derived for an example wheel.

It is shown that the magnitude of the impact load is more influenced the wheel rail contact geometry than by the selection of rail pad stiffness.

By reducing the pad stiffness, the noise radiation from the sleeper is reduced but that from the rail is increased, andvice versa.

Furthermore, there is still not a clinical yet quantitative biomechanical tool that could provide an easy assessment on the heel pad stiffness in vivo.

A number of remedies have been proposed or used to provide gradual stiffness transition, such as the use of gradual pad stiffness, long sleepers and auxiliary rail in the transition zone.

The implementation of dynamic absorbers with a mass of 5 kg every sleeper bay (0.6 m) leads to predicted reductions of track radiation of 2 dB(A) if the rail-pad stiffness is already optimal.

Open image in new window Figure 16 Experimental and simulation results of thrust pad aerostatic bearing stiffness for the three different restrictor types Open image in new window Figure 17 Experimental acceleration of thrust pad aerostatic bearings for different restrictor types.

Measurements from each force-displacement profile were acquired by loading the plate with a typical footstep, since, due to the finite recovery time of the foam pad, the measured stiffness could depend on the temporal profile of the load.

As observed in our study, diabetes duration has been identified as a risk factor for obstructive PAD and arterial stiffness (11, 12).

In this large study of patients with type 2 diabetes and CAD, we found a high prevalence of obstructive PAD and arterial stiffness and identified risk factors for an abnormal ABI.
