This paper aims to present an optimization method for very-high-speed electrical machines based on multiphysical analytical models. Analytical models allow a fast design but have to be robust and reliable. The set of models presented is very complete and c ...
Currently, schemes based on seminal empirical knowledge about energy piles subjected to mechanical and thermal loads are available to describe the response of such foundations. However, schemes based on theoretical principles may more closely reflect the p ...
Background: The primary hypothesis was that body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) significantly impact the long-term survival rate after implantation of a mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ...
Theoretical studies suggest and experimental evidence confirms that maintaining and changing human joint stiffness by coactivated antagonistic muscles are metabolically expensive, even if muscles do not perform net mechanical work. Based on this observatio ...
In everyday life humans perform many tasks with other partners which involve coordination, involuntary communication and mutual control adaptation, as the case of carrying objects together with another person. Humanoid robots may help with such activities ...
Experimental evidence shows that the chemical composition of the liquid inside the pores and its variation over time can have significant implications on the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of clayey geomaterials. The magnitude of these implications depe ...
