an earthquake with the magnitude of 5.9 mw occurred in qeshm island and hormozgan province in november 27th 2005. 3d co-seismic deformation field caused by the earthquake are determined based on the ascending and descending interferograms and azimuth offsets. the peak to peak estimated displacement is about 10 cm in west, 69 cm in north and 22 cm in vertical directions. we apply strain analysis...

STUDY DESIGN Nondestructive displacement-controlled dynamic testing of cadaver material, with repeated measures design and randomized sequence of tests. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the frequency-dependent changes in disc stiffness and phase angle between load and displacement differ between the 6 principal directions of displacement, and whether these differences are greater in deformation...

CONTEXT Osteopathic manipulative medicine techniques involve compressive and tangential forces to target the fascia. These forces are transmitted to the skin and adipose tissue before the fascia is encountered. Knowing the extent of deformation of these 2 tissue layers relative to the fascia will assist osteopathic physicians in evaluating techniques for manual therapies and adjusting these the...

in present paper, a point to point optimal path is planned for a mobile manipulator with flexible links and joints. for this purpose, a perfect dynamic modeling is performed for mobile manipulators considering large deformation in links, shear effects, elastic joints, effect of gravitation, and non-holonomic constraints. to study large deformation of links, non-linear relation of displacement-s...

To achieve accurate and precise results of finite element analysis (FEA) of bones, it is important to represent the load/boundary conditions as identical as possible to the human body such as the bone properties, the type and force of the muscles, the contact force of the joints, and the location of the muscle attachment. In this study, the difference in the Von-Mises stress and the total defor...

in this study, the formation of different parts of a cup during deep drawing process has been investigated analytically using the geometrical relationships. for a given punch travel, the effects of the bending angle, and those of the die and shoulder radii on the flange and die shoulder strains were examined. in addition, different components of the deformation force were calculated and the pun...
