Back Stress Isn't Part of the Job
The American Journal of Nursing, 1993Lifting and transferring patients takes a heavy toll: Nurses have been ranked fifth among all workers nationally filing compensation claims for back injury(l). And even that estimate may be low. A 1989 study found that only one-third of those nurses who said they had episodes of occupation-related back problems (63 out of 189) actually filed an ...

Decreasing Back Stress In Home Care
Home Healthcare Nurse: The Journal for the Home Care and Hospice Professional, 2003Although back injuries are a significant problem in home care, limited information exists regarding which tasks are stressful and how stress can be reduced. This study describes home health aides' perceived stressfulness to the back and provides ideas all home care workers can use to decrease back stress.

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 2000
Jobs with a high degree of variability in manual materials handling requirements expose limitations in current low-back injury risk assessment tools and emphasize the need for a probabilistic representation of the biomechanical stress in order to quantify both acute and cumulative trauma risk.

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1998
The construction industry has long been identified as a high risk industry for low back injuries due to the significant amount of manual materials handling and awkward trunk postures associated with many of its jobs. The variable nature of the tasks performed by construction workers expose these workers to risk factors for both acute and cumulative ...

Influence of back stresses in parts forming on crashworthiness
Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2005Abstract The influence of back stresses during forming processes of sheet parts on subsequent crashworthiness is investigated in this article. To this aim, the simulation results of crash analysis applying material formulations with and without kinematic hardening are compared.

Reducing back stress through an ergonomic approach: Weighing a patient
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 1994Back problems are prevalent in nursing personnel. Nursing assistants in a nursing home stated weighing dependent patients was a very stressful task; they manually lifted patients up onto a chair scale. The task was redesigned in two ways: the use of a ramp scale and use of a hoist with a digital scale. With the new methods, perceived physical stress to

Temperature Dependence of the Back‐Stress in Shear for Glassy Polycarbonate
Macromolecular Symposia, 2007AbstractSummary: Back‐stress is the equilibrium stress and represents conditions under which relaxation events in the material stop and the material can carry an applied load indefinitely without a change in strain. In most models for glassy polymers, back‐stress plays a central role since relaxation in materials is closely related to the distance of ...

Constitutive Equations for the Back Stress in Amorphous Glassy Polymers
Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 2005Constitutive equations for the back stress in amorphous glassy polymers based on extended forms of the non-Gaussian James—Guth 3-chain and Arruda—Boyce 8-chain models of rubber elasticity are derived from the extended Wu and van der Giessen non-Gaussian full-network model. A simple and invariant constitutive equation for the back stress tensor is then
