The effects of a suspended-load backpack on gait

Gait and Posture, 2009
A suspended-load backpack is a device that is designed to capture the mechanical energy created as a suspended backpack load oscillates vertically on the back during gait. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of a suspended-load backpack system on selected temporal and kinetics parameters describing gait. Nine male participants

Bed‐Load and Suspended‐Load Transport of Nonuniform Sediments

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1991
Methods are available for the computation of the bed-load and suspended-load transport rates of uniform sediments. However, limited studies exist for nonuniform sediments. These studies, in general, lack simplicity, and often make use of various correction factors to be read from a series of tables and graphs.

Bed Load or Suspended Load

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1985
The difference between the sediment transport processes of bed load and suspended load is explained and quantified. The mean and fluctuating components of the particle motion are studied by examining both components of the particle's dynamics in open channel flows.

Suspended load and bed load in irrigation furrows

CATENA, 2005
Abstract The circulation of water in irrigation furrows is a well-understood physical process. However, theoretical understanding of sediment dynamics is less well established. This study assesses an approach to determine the sediment load in irrigation furrows, involving the use of a suction device for sampling water with suspended sediments at ...

Non-Colocated path tracking in crane suspended loads

2013 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM), 2013
This paper proposes and validates experimentally a non-time based scheme for the non-colocated path tracking control of a crane suspended load. The controller is named Delayed Reference Non-Colocated Control (DRNC) and extends the idea of the Delayed Reference Control (DRC) schemes.

Nested saturation control of an UAV carrying a suspended load

2014 American Control Conference, 2014
This paper addresses the problem of using unmanned aerial vehicles for the transportation of suspended loads. The proposed solution introduces a novel control law capable of steering the aerial robot to a desired reference while simultaneously limiting the sway of the payload.

Suspended-Load Transport

2014
The mode of sediment transport where the sediment particles are surrounded by the fluid over an appreciably long period of time is known as suspended-load transport. This chapter introduces basic concepts of sediment suspension and formulations to predict the suspended-load transport rate.
