The aim of our study was to investigate the effect muscle-specific fatigue quadriceps and hamstring muscles on biomechanical factors anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury using musculoskeletal modeling techniques during directional diversion maneuver. Fifteen female subjects performed a maneuver under three treatment conditions (quadriceps fatigue, control gait). Data from 3D motion capture s...

| Assuming a multipath propagation scenario, we derive a closed-form subspace-based method for the simultaneous estimation of arrival angles and path delays from measured channel impulse responses, using knowledge of the transmitted pulse shape function and assuming a uniform linear array and uniform sampling. The algorithm uses a 2-D ESPRIT-like shift-invariance technique to separate and estim...

Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) are deviant channels that convey the current containing sediments from the upstream of the reservoir to the downstream of the dam. In this research, by applying submerged plates on the entrance of a 90-degree diversion channel for sediment transport, the effect of hydraulic parameters of flow and changes in the angle of plates on sediment transport and deviated fl...

Various structural discontinuities, which form a discrete fracture network, play a significant role in the failure conditions and stability of the rock masses around underground excavations. Several continuum numerical methods have been used to study the stability of underground excavations in jointed rock masses but only few of them can take into account the influence of the pre-existing natur...

Drilling and blasting have numerous applications in the civil and mining engineering. Due to the two major components of rock masses, namely the intact rock matrix and the discontinuities, their behavior is a complicated process to be analyzed. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of the geomechanical and geometrical parameters of rock and discontinuities on the rock mass blas...

In this paper, we have used numerical simulation to study failure of adhesive joints in composite plates. To determine the failure load, adhesive joints are subjected to different types of loading and gradual failure of the joint is studied using the finite element method. The composite material failure theory is implemented into the FEM software. Also different geometries for the joint edge ar...
