Springy ankle tether saves runners’ legs

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019
![Figure][1] An athlete running with a springy ankle tether on a treadmill. Photo credit: Cara Welker and Cole Simpson. If you're not a natural runner, it takes a lot of effort to get out and pound the streets; and that's not just my personal opinion. ‘Human running is inefficient’,

Deformation of a spatial elastica constrained inside a springy tube

Acta Mechanica, 2019
Most previous works on spatial elastica constrained inside a tube assumed that the tube wall is rigid. This assumption is not adequate when it involves human artery and tissue. In this paper, we study the deformation of a clamped–clamped rod constrained within a straight flexible tube.

PREDICTING SENSORY COHESIVENESS, HARDNESS AND SPRINGINESS OF SOLID FOODS FROM INSTRUMENTAL MEASUREMENTS

Journal of Texture Studies, 2008
ABSTRACT The sensory evaluation of cohesiveness, hardness and springiness of 15 solid food samples was performed by eight trained assessors. The rheologic response of the 15 samples was estimated by performing cyclic compression tests and stress–relaxation tests.

Hard-elastic or ‘springy’ polypropylene

1999
In the 1960s it was discovered that polypropylene (PP), as well as several other highly crystalline polymers, can be extruded in the form of elastic fibers and films. These materials were termed as ‘hard’ elastic to distinguish them from common elastomers.

Vessel Motion Line Control Through Anchor Springiness

Offshore Technology Conference, 1969
ABSTRACT This paper concerns the catenary anchor lines used to anchor floating work vessels such as pipe laying barges, drilling vessels, and derrick barges. An anchored vessel in a sea-way behaves somewhat like a mass suspended between springs and acted upon by an oscillating force field. The mass will vibrate; the

Speaker Normalization Via Springy Discriminant Analysis and Pitch Estimation

2007
Speaker normalization techniques are widely used to improve the accuracy of speaker independent speech recognition. One of the most popular group of such methods is Vocal Tract Length Normalization (VTLN). These methods try to reduce the inter-speaker variability by transforming the input feature vectors into a more compact domain, to achieve better ...

Beware the hype – springy soles won’t make you run much faster Springy soles, stiffer shoes, lightweight materials. When does shoe design give some runners an unfair advantage? from www.shutterstock.com Glen Lichtwark, The University of Queensland; Dominic Farris, The University of Queensland, and Luke A Kelly, The University of Queensland Most runners
