Performance Improvement of Innovative Shear Damper Using Diagonal Stiffeners for Concentrically Braced Frame Systems

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Although concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems enjoy high elastic stiffness and lateral strength, they show a low seismic energy absorption capacity. This dilemma is due to the buckling of CBFs’ diagonal members under compressive loading. To overcome

Tensile Test of Human Lumbar Ligamentum Flavum: Age-Related Changes of Stiffness

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The most common cause of lumbar spinal canal stenosis is age-related degenerative changes. The ligamentum flavum is said to become thicker and stiffer with age, based on several histological and cadaver studies.

Assessment of Passive Upper Limb Stiffness and Its Function in Post-Stroke Individuals Wearing an Inertial Sensor during the Pendulum Test

open access: yesSensors, 2023
This article proposes the evaluation of the passive movement of the affected elbow during the pendulum test in people with stroke and its correlation with the main clinical scales (Modified Ashworth Scale, Motor Activity Log, and Fulg Meyer). An inertial
