Investigation of Heaving-pitching Airfoil in Ground Proximity using Large Eddy Simulations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics
This study examines the aerodynamics of a wing-in-ground (WIG) airfoil subjected to heaving (plunging) & pitching motion, specifically examining the distinctions in flow between transitional and turbulent states, which are essential for assessing its ...

Air-cushion lift pad [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
Mathematical model is formulated for an air pad which is capable of lifting a structure to a height of 0.125 inch. Design is superior to conventional air cushion devices because it eliminates flutter, vibration, heaving, and ...

Grip strength is not related to increased medial elbow joint-space gapping induced by repetitive pitching

open access: yesJSES International, 2020
Background: Pitching induces elbow valgus stress, which can lead to an increase in medial elbow joint-space gapping when repeated. Previous basic research on the medial elbow joint shows that the contraction associated with gripping reduces medial elbow ...

Forearm Trajectory Measurement during Pitching Motion using an Elbow-mounted Sensor

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2009
This paper describes a measurement method of three-dimensional (3D) forearm movement during pitching motion using an elbow-mounted sensor (3D sensor). The 3D sensor comprises accelerometers of two kinds with dynamic range of 4 [G] and 100 [G], and two ...
