Fatigue Testing of Wearable Sensing Technologies: Issues and Opportunities [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials, 2021
Standards for the fatigue testing of wearable sensing technologies are lacking. The majority of published fatigue tests for wearable sensors are performed on proof-of-concept stretch sensors fabricated from a variety of materials. Due to their flexibility and stretchability, polymers are often used in the fabrication of wearable sensors.

Fatigue Scales and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Issues of Sensitivity and Specificity

open access: yesDisability Studies Quarterly, 2011
Few studies have explored issues of sensitivity and specificity for using the fatigue construct to identify patients meeting chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) criteria. In this article, we examine the sensitivity and specificity of several fatigue scales that have attempted to define severe fatigue within CFS. Using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)

Brain Fatigue is a Critical Issue [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Physiology Journal, 2019
The brain is one of the most complicated body segments which processes almost all activities in human body. Excessive physical and mental overloads can cause brain fatigue and may put the brain health at risk of various disorders. Strategies such as reducing the workloads and performing mediation and walking provide opportunities for brain to relax and

Characterization of crack nucleation in TA6V under fretting-fatigue loading using the potential drop technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Crack initiation in a Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated experimentally in fretting fatigue conditions. A cylinder-plane geometry was used for the contact, and partial slip conditions were considered.

Fatigue Variable Loading Under Combined High Temperature and Shot Peening Treatment for AA2024-T4 and AA2024-T361

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering, 2023
The variable fatigue loading (VL) is an important issue for aircraft safety. Indeed, aluminium alloy parts are always the subject of this type of thermo-mechanical alterations. This study examined the effect (VL) under normal operating conditions.
