longevity of osseointegrated implants are intensely influenced by biomechanical factors. control of these factors prevents mechanical complications, which include fracture of screws, components, or materials veneering the framework. in this study, the impact of length and threads pitch of dental implants on the stress distribution and maximum von mises stress in implant-abutment complex and jaw...

This letter presents the first vector network analyzer based subterahertz (sub-THz) phase-compensated channel sounder at 220–330 GHz using radio-over-fiber techniques that could enable long-range phase-coherent measurements. The optical cable solution enables measurements sub-THz bands, since it can effectively minimize loss. also proposes a novel phase compensation scheme to stabilize variatio...

We can gain biomechanical insights if we couple knowledge of the environments, ecological roles and life history strategies of organisms with our laboratory analyses of their mechanical function or fluid dynamics, as illustrated by studies of the mechanical design of bottom-dwelling marine organisms. Obviously, measurements of the spatial and temporal distribution of loads on an organism in nat...

Real-time motion tracking of kinematic chains is a key prerequisite in the control of, e.g., robotic actuators and autonomous vehicles also has numerous biomechanical applications. In recent years, it been shown that, by placing inertial sensors on segments that are connected rotational joints, chain can be tracked accurately. These methods specifically avoid using magnetometer measurements, wh...

This is the first part of a two-part paper on the design of intelligent controllers for a class of exercise machines. The control objective is to cause the user to exercise in a manner which optimizes a criterion related to the user’s mechanical power. The optimal exercise strategy is determined by a biomechanical behavior of the individual user, which is assumed to satisfy an affine force–velo...
