Introduction: The biomechanical changes that arise after breast cancer increase the need for new rehabilitation programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate mediumand long-term effects of vibration therapy on pain intensity, range of motion, myoelectric activity, and muscle strength of post-surgical breast cancer women. Methods: This controlled longitudinal clinical study was composed of 14 ...

The blast vibration attenuation will change as the tunnel cut hole is blasted to create a new free surface. To guarantee safe construction and optimize design parameters, it crucial understand impact of surface on attenuation. Previous studies have often only qualitatively evaluated effect vibration, failing quantify these impacts In this paper, by analyzing decay law velocity under different s...

The occupational uses with vibratory tools or vehicles provoked health disorders of users. We reviewed narratively our articles of 35 yr studies and their related literatures, and considered the pathophysiology of the hand-arm vibration disorders. Concerning the risk factors of health impairments in workers with vibratory tools, there are two conflicting schools of the researchers: The peripher...

An important environmental aspect of building and facility design is the evaluation of vibration transmitted to the site, through the ground, from external sources. Such external sources may include highway traffic, surface and subsurface railways, and machinery in nearby locations. To properly predict excitation levels at a building due to such sources, one must be able to predict how much vib...

This article aims to popularize the methods for determining vibratory damping ratio, explain various mathematical and physical theorems related establishment of literal expressions. Vibration is an essential parameter reduce dynamic responses structures. The study aimed at its determination necessary safeguard buildings human lives during earthquake. Among main studied in this article, free vib...

A considerable amount of energy is released in the form of shock wave from explosive charge detonation. Shock wave energy is responsible for the creation of crushing and fracture zone around the blast hole. The rest of the shock wave energy is transferred to rock mass as ground vibration. Ground vibration is conveyed to the adjacent structures by body and surface waves. Geological structures li...

This study presents a generic TITOP (Two-Input Two-Output Port) model of a substructure actuated with embedded piezoelectric materials as actuators (PEAs), previously modeled with the FE technique. This allows intuitive assembly of actuated flexible substructures in large flexible multi-body systems. The modeling technique is applied to an illustrative example of a flexible beam with bonded pie...
