The paper presents a newly designed electromagnetic vibration absorber (EMVA), whose stiffness is on-line tunable.
Each crack is modeled as a rotational spring whose stiffness is obtained from fracture mechanics.
The yeast transmembrane Wsc1 cell surface sensor displays similar nano-spring behaviour whose stiffness is sensitive to growth conditions [ 87].
Therefore, the aim of this study was to design an experimental AFO (EAFO) whose stiffness was adjustable using commercially available oil-damper joints, and to demonstrate its potential capability in investigating the effects of altering AFO stiffness on gait.
The technique is demonstrated on problems governed by mechanical stiffness including the design of structures and material microstructures whose elastic stiffness is to be enhanced by optimizing the location of stiff, circular inclusions.
In this paper, we consider an imperfect finite beam lying on a nonlinear foundation, whose dimensionless stiffness is reduced from 1 to k as the beam deflection increases.
The crack is modeled by a rotational spring, whose stiffness could be determined by the size of the crack.
Tip-links are mechanically in series with a yet unidentified elastic element, termed gating-spring[ 26, 27], which pulls on transduction channels and whose stiffness may be Ca2+-dependent [ 28].
While decorum is always in, stiffness is out.
The morning stiffness is often worse on days after a run.
A massless torsional spring whose stiffness depend on the severity of the crack is used as a crack model.
