Quantifying the Influence of X-Ray Irradiation on Cell-Size-Scale Viscoelasticity of Collagen Type 1
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2024)X-rays are widely used in mammography and radiotherapy of breast cancer. The research has focused on the effects of X-rays on cells in breast tissues, instead of the tissues' nonliving material, extracellular matrix. It ... -
Modeling Running via Optimal Control for Shoe Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2024)Shoe manufacturing technology is advancing faster than new shoe designs can viably be evaluated in human subject trials. To aid in the design process, this paper presents a model for estimating how new shoe properties will ... -
Variable Pivot Gait Based a Novel Dynamics Correction Method for Human Lower Limbs Model
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2024)The rationality of gait analysis directly affects the dynamics of human lower limbs in the sagittal plane, and recent studies on gait stage redivision lack the stage when both feet are not in complete contact with the ... -
Development of Biomechanical Response Curves for the Calibration of Biofidelic Measuring Devices Used in Robot Collision Testing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2024)Collaborative robots (cobots) can be employed in close proximity to human workers without safety fences. The operation mode Power and Force Limiting requires that cobots not exceed the biomechanical limits of ISO/TS 15066 ... -
A First Step Toward a Family of Morphed Human Body Models Enabling Prediction of Population Injury Outcomes
