Functional electrical stimulation (FES): muscle histochemical analysis [PDF]
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been used in Brazil since 1989 to obtain functional improvement in paraplegic patients' orthostasis and locomotion. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the histochemical changes observed in the quadriceps femoris muscle following the use of FES.

Coupled FE‐Analysis Involving Partially Saturated Soils [PDF]
AbstractA short introduction to the governing equations and the corresponding FE‐formulation of a three phase model for partially saturated soils is given and a constitutive law of the soil skeleton and its numerical integration is discussed briefly. Finally, the application of the numerical model is presented.

Material Deformation Behavior in T-Shape Hydroforming of Metal Microtubes
In this study, the material behavior in the T-shape microtube hydroforming (MTHF) of pure copper and stainless-steel SUS304 microtubes with an outer diameter of 500 µm and wall thickness of 100 µm was examined experimentally and numerically ...

Evaluation of sand p–y curves by predicting both monopile lateral response and OWT natural frequency
Extending the use of the p–y curves included in the regulation codes API and DNV to design large-diameter monopiles supporting offshore wind turbines (OWTs) was unsuccessful as it resulted in an inaccurate estimation of the monopile behavior.

Development of a collaborative optimization tool for the sizing design of aerospace structures [PDF]
The work introduces a computational method for the optimization of aerospace preliminary designs. It was developed considering a collaborative approach to solve the sizing optimization of a structure model defined by finite element method and by a ...

Impression creep testing across a heat affected zone
Impression creep testing was applied for studying the creep strain rates in the heat affected zone of a P22 weld in order to support an FE analysis of a piping system. The specimen size recommendations for impression creep were violated in the sense that

Alternative Formula for Rigid Pavement Stress Calculation in Corner Load Conditions
The design of rigid pavements is historically based on the classical Theory of proposed by Westergaard in 1929, which considers the rigid pavement as a thin plate resting on an elastic ground with a Winkler reaction, imposing the congruence of vertical ...
