A hammer-string interaction for bass notes is investigated and the problem what can cause the hammer to rebound is clarified. For a linear elastic hammer interacting with a long flexible string the exact solution of the equation describing the hammer motion is derived. It was shown that in some cases no reflected wave is needed to assist the hammer for going away from the string. The numerical ...

Aim of the present study was to describe the muscle fibre type composition and body composition of well-trained hammer throwers. Six experienced hammer throwers underwent the following measurements: one repetition maximum in squat, snatch, and clean, standing broad jump, backward overhead shot throw and the hammer throw. Dual x-ray absorptiometry was used for body composition analysis. Fibre ty...

In this paper by using numerical evaluation the effect of balancing drupes of water hammer on tunnels lining is considered. In case of not arrangment of these reservoirs, the tunnel lining will be damaged of cyclic powers of water hammer. In this research, function of balancing reservoir of water hammer on cover of tunnels to the barriers’ turbine is simulated by numerical methods and Plaxis 3D...

sustainability of water supply networks should be based on the risks of water hammer phenomenon. the purpose of this study is to provide a new approach to the analysis of water hammer phenomenon in the water supply network. by conventional methods, the damage because of water hammer is estimated based on the maximum pressure at nodes. however, during this phenomenon continuation and changing of...

We present an improved MR brain image registration algorithm, called TPS-HAMMER, which is based on the concepts of attribute vectors and hierarchical landmark selection scheme proposed in the highly successful HAMMER registration algorithm. We demonstrate that TPS-HAMMER algorithm yields better registration accuracy, robustness, and speed over HAMMER owing to (1) the employment of soft correspo...
