Vibratory Response Characteristics of High-Frequency Shape Memory Alloy Actuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a shape memory alloy actuator design using a bimorph structure capable of high-speed actuation and low power consumption. Two active layers of shape memory alloy wires are separated by a passive layer ...
Knee Valgus Versus Knee Abduction Angle: Comparative Analysis of Medial Knee Collapse Definitions in Female Athletes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The knee valgus angle (KVA) is heavily researched as it has been shown to correlate to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries when measured during jumping activities. Many different methods of KVA calculation are often ...
Performance Analysis and Clinical Evaluation of an Automated Tool for Plantar Threshold Sensitivity Assessment in a Non-Diabetic Control Population
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Neuropathy is associated with sensation loss in the extremities. Semmes–Weinstein monofilaments are common tools used to assess an individuals' sensation perception. It has long been characterized using hand-applied ...
