This paper reviews the research findings regarding the force and length changes of the muscle-tendon complex during dynamic human movements, especially those using ultrasonography and computer simulation. The use of ultrasonography demonstrated that the tendinous structures of the muscle-tendon complex are compliant enough to influence the biomechanical behavior (length change, shortening veloc...

one of the basic assumptions of management accounting illustrate that costschanges has a significance relationship with increasing and decreasing in the levelof activity, recently after being raised of sticky costs issue by anderson and hiscolleagues this assumption was discussed. it means increases in costs by increasingthe more activity level of reduction in costs is exchange for the reductio...

The dimensional variables of trees play an important role in biomechanical studies that seek to estimate the risk falls, since they influence their behavior relation forces which are subjected, and therefore, safety factor. aim this research is evaluate effect on mechanical behavior. A finite-element model was used perform linear static analysis. wood from tree considered clean, architectural b...

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the type of prosthetic abutment associated to different implant connection on bone biomechanical behavior of immediately and delayed loaded implants. Computed tomography-based finite element models comprising a mandible with a single molar implant were created with different types of prosthetic abutment (UCLA or conical), implant connection (externa...

Increasing the use of water and soil resources in watershed in recent years and unproductive and inappropriate use of land ecology has exacerbated the occurrence of floods. In this context, watershed management is one of the most effective ways to cope with this crisis. This research quantify the results of these activities by calculating the decreased volume and discharge due to biomechanical ...

Removable complete and partial dentures are supported by the residual alveolar ridges consisting of mucosa, submucosa, periosteum, and bone. An understanding of the biomechanical behavior of the oral mucosa is essential in order to improve the denture-bearing foundations for complete and partially edentulous patients. The purpose of this paper was to examine the biomechanical behavior of the so...

First published July 3, 2013; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00539.2013.—The upper airway is a complex, multifunctional, dynamic neuromechanical system. Its patency during breathing requires moment-to-moment c...

purpose : to investigate the correlation between corneal biomechanical properties and tomographic parameters of pentacam methods : corneal biomechanical properties and tomographic results of 36 normal subjects were measured by ocular response analyzer (ora) and pentacam and the correlation between these two measurements were analyzed with pearson correlation test with spss version16. results : ...
