Back Stress Isn't Part of the Job

The American Journal of Nursing, 1993
Lifting 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, 2003
Although 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.

Back-Span Stress Joint

Offshore Technology Conference, 1993
ABSTRACT The need to accommodate increased rotation of a hull with respect to the upper end of a riser is a limitation inherent in the smaller spar-type designs which may be considered for increasing the profitability of deep water developments.

Stresses in sheets with backing

Journal of the Franklin Institute, 1975
Abstract A mathematical model of surface layers such as tilings, plasters and coatings is established in this paper. To solve the field equations analytically, use is made of a pertubation scheme which yields the influence of the “backing” on the elastic behavior of “the sheet”. As an application, an illustrative example is worked out and the results

Continuous Assessment of Back Stress (CABS): A New Method to Quantify Low-Back Stress in Jobs with Variable Biomechanical Demands

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.

Assessing Low Back Stress in the Construction Industry Using the Continuous Assessment of Back Stress (CABS) Method

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 ...

Helping children with back‐to‐school stress

The Brown University Child and Adolescent Behavior Letter, 2022
By now, most children have been in classrooms for at least a month. While the return to once‐familiar routines may seem refreshing to parents, the fears of lockdown still haunt children, and these are only compounded by regular stressors caused by school.

Back-stresses, image stresses, and work-hardening

Acta Metallurgica, 1973
Abstract A comparison is made between recently published theories on the plastic behaviour of dispersion-hardened alloys in which no plastic relaxation occurs. It is shown that Tanaka and Mori's(1) calculation is a rigorous lower bound for the hardening to be expected. Some new derivations are given for the mean strains in matrix and inclusions.

Back calculation of in-situ stress condition based on secondary stress measurements

The IV Nordic Symposium on Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering - Proceedings, 2023
A large underground cavern design at a shallow depth requires reliable estimation of in-situ stress conditions. Geological conditions, topography, and tectonic activity influence the magnitude of the in-situ stresses. The objective of this paper is to predict and evaluate the in-situ stress state before the excavation of two pilot tunnels in a railway ...
