During transportation by ambulance, the inertial acceleration acts on a patient when an ambulance decelerates or turns a corner. Such acceleration often gives a supine patient physical stress such as blood pressure variation and body sway, which results in pain or a feeling of discomfort. To reduce this undesirable effect of the acceleration, the actively-controlled bed, which controls a postur...

A Darboux-transformed surface gravitational acceleration of the constant gravitational acceleration for a body endowed with an atmospheric layer is shown to turn the atmospheric free fall with quadratic resistance in the opposite motion, i.e., a free rising. Although the atmosphere of such a body may look completely normal, it is the time dependence of its gravitational field that produces this...

This paper presents a study on identifying different individuals using accelerometer data from a smartphone presented on their walking patterns. The identifier algorithm was trained and evaluated in an experiment with twenty human subjects including 12 males and 8 females in real-world conditions. Various classifiers were tested using descriptive statistical features. Our model recognizes patte...

Two dimensional flow of a non-Newtonian fluid through an asymmetric stenosed artery is analysed under the influence of body acceleration with an external magnetic field on the flow field. The Casson fluid model is considered to characterize the non-Newtonian behaviour of the blood. The flow is assumed to be unsteady, laminar, two-dimensional, asymmetric and of pulsatile nature. The artery wall ...

We propose to determine the optimal softening length in N -body halo simulations by minimizing the ensemble-average acceleration error at a small radius r0. This strategy ensures that the error never exceeds the optimal value beyond r0. Furthermore, we derive semi-analytic formulae for calculating the acceleration error due to the discreteness of particles and softened gravity, which are valida...

A Mathematical model for the pulsatile blood flow through stenosed artery with the effect of body acceleration and slip velocity is proposed. Blood has been represented by casson fluid equation. Analytic expression for velocity, flow rate, wall shear stress and effective viscosity is derived. Flow variables with the change of parameters are represented graphically. The effect of pulsatility, st...

Impact induced traumatic brain injury (ITBI) describes brain injury from head impact not necessarily accompanied by skull fracture. For sufficiently abrupt head impact decelerations, ITBI results from brain tissue stress incurred as the brain crashes into the inside of the skull wall, displacing the surrounding cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Proper helmet cushioning can damp the impact force and ...

In this paper, the 1/4 vehicle model have been simulated. The vehicle body acceleration using optimal control has been optimized. The vehicle ride comfort is achieved by using robust control, and it has been compared with optimal control. The active suspension can help the vehicle to have a good dynamic behavioral. In this paper, two degrees of freedom dynamic vibration model of a general ve...
