Elastic–Plastic Modeling and Experimental Characterization of Granular Jamming Actuators

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Granular jamming enables rapid switching between soft and rigid mechanical states. Here, a reduced‐order elastic‐perfectly‐plastic beam framework captures pressure‐dependent loading, unloading, residual deformation, and hysteresis in jammed beams, while matching three‐point bending experiments across materials and geometries. The framework links design

The effect of limited feed intake on carcase yield and meat quality in early weaned rabbits

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of one week of intensive feed restriction (50 g and 65 g per rabbit per day for R50 and R65, respectively) on carcase traits, meat quality characteristics and muscle fibre parameters in early weaned ...

Compressed air massage: repeated treatment causes less muscle oedema than a single treatment

South African Journal of Physiotherapy, 2007
Compressed air massage is a new treatment modality that has been shown to cause skeletal muscle capillary dilation for up to 24 hours after a single treatment and significantly hastens healing of diabetic ulcers.

Osteopontin deficiency delays inflammatory infiltration and the onset of muscle regeneration in a mouse model of muscle injury

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2013
SUMMARY Osteopontin is secreted by skeletal muscle myoblasts and stimulates their proliferation. Expression of osteopontin in skeletal muscle is upregulated in pathological conditions including Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and recent evidence suggests ...

Non-invasive estimation of muscle fibre size from high-density electromyography [PDF]

, 2023
Because of the biophysical relation between muscle fibre diameter and the propagation velocity of action potentials along the muscle fibres, motor unit conduction velocity could be a non-invasive index of muscle fibre size in humans.
