Abstract: Stump stresses were correlated to prosthesis loads for two unilateral, below-knee amputees over a range of flexion-extension angular adjustments. Normal stresses on the patellar tendon and ...

Abstract: Mechanical energy expenditure during level walking was evaluated and graphed for two unilateral, below-knee amputees over time and a range of adjustments of the flexion-extension alignment angle. ...

Abstract: This study extends what had been a purely numerical model that used influence-factor matrices to relate the stump stresses to prosthesis loads for unilateral, below/knee amputees. Previously ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional mathematical model is presented that models bubble deformation of a dielectric fluid due to the presence of a nonuniform electric field and calculates the net dielectrophoretic ...

Abstract: Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) have been detected in natural waters globally. Additionally, trace concentrations of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have also been detected in various waters, ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a method for assessing the risk associated with scour threat to bridge foundations. In response to numerous scour-related bridge failures, the Federal Highway Administration has ...
