RISBiomechanical Considerations of Refreshable Braille and Tactile Graphics Toward Equitable Access: A Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This review highlights the biomechanical foundations of braille and tactile graphic discrimination within the context of design innovations in information access for the blind and low-vision community. Braille discrimination ...
An Electromyography-Based Constitutive Law for Force Generation in Skeletal Muscle—Part I: Model Development
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a new method for estimating skeletal muscle forces using a model derived from dimensional analysis. It incorporates electromyography signals and muscle force–length, force–velocity, and force–frequency ...
Design Considerations for the Attenuation of Translational and Rotational Accelerations in American Football Helmets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Participants in American football experience repetitive head impacts that induce negative changes in neurocognitive function over the course of a single season. This study aimed to quantify the transfer function connecting ...
Mechanical Response of Human Muscle at Intermediate Strain Rates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We experimentally determined the tensile stress–strain response of human muscle along fiber direction and compressive stress–strain response transverse to fiber direction at intermediate strain rates (100–102/s). A ...
Mechanical Response of Human Muscle at Intermediate Strain Rates
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We experimentally determined the tensile stress–strain response of human muscle along fiber direction and compressive stress–strain response transverse to fiber direction at intermediate strain rates (100–102/s). A ...
Evaluation of Impulse Attenuation by Football Helmets in the Frequency Domain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design of helmets used in contact sports has been driven by the necessity of preventing severe head injuries. Manufacturing standards and pass or fail grading systems ensure protective headgear built to withstand large ...
