Effects of the performance parameters of a wheelchair on the changes in the position of the centre of gravity of the human body in dynamic condition. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 PURPOSE:The aim of this research is to establish whether, and to what extent, the tilt angle, gear ratio of the propulsion system and propulsion frequency of a wheelchair influence the position of the centre of gravity.

The Effect of Weight Distribution on the Self-Righting Moment of an Anti-Capsize Ship [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe self-righting moment on a patrol boat plays an important role in maintaining the ship’s stability, allowing it to return to its original position after a rolling motion, especially at extreme heel angles in severe conditions.
