The eeects of vibration on cathode strip chamber operation are analyzed. Gas gain variation and low frequency noise tolerances lead to a speciication of a maximum vibration amplitude for various frequencies. Possible resonant wire vibrations are described.

The effects of whole body vibration (WBV) on EMG timing, frequency and amplitude have previously been studied, however to best of the authors knowledge there have been no studies on the effect of WBV on the conduction velocity of myoelectrical signals. Muscle fibre conduction velocity, EMG frequency and amplitude of the vastus lateralis were therefore assessed in twelve male participants (1.81 ...

Although vocal folds are known to be anisotropic, the influence of material anisotropy on vocal fold vibration remains largely unknown. Using a linear stability analysis, phonation onset characteristics were investigated in a three-dimensional anisotropic vocal fold model. The results showed that isotropic models had a tendency to vibrate in a swing-like motion, with vibration primarily along t...

in this paper, the nonlinear free vibrations of thin symmetric and non-symmetric cross-ply composite plates subjected to biaxial initial stresses are investigated. because of their excellent properties such as specific strength and specific stiffness, composite plates have wide applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. based on von-karman's strain-displacement relations and using gal...

The effect of hand muscle mechanical vibration on the somatosensory potential (SEP) evoked by median nerve stimulation, was investigated in 10 healthy subjects. A marked decrease in the amplitude of the N17, N20 and P25 components of the cerebral SEP was observed, while the S11 and S13 components of the cervical response did not change. The amplitude reduction of the SEP components was larger w...

This paper describes an on-off control scheme for minimum time maneuver of flexible spacecraft with vibration suppression during the slew. The method minimizes the maneuver time subject to constraints on residual vibration, sensitivity to modeling errors, rest-to-rest slew distance, and transient vibration amplitude. Furthermore, a solution is sought in the form of a plausible train of pulses, ...
