Consequences of Location-Dependent Organ of Corti Micro-Mechanics. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The cochlea performs frequency analysis and amplification of sounds. The graded stiffness of the basilar membrane along the cochlear length underlies the frequency-location relationship of the mammalian cochlea. The somatic motility of outer hair cell is

EXPLORATION OF VIBROTACTILE BIOFEEDBACK STRATEGIES TO INDUCE STANCE TIME ASYMMETRIES

open access: yesCanadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
BACKGROUND: Gait symmetry is the degree of equality of biomechanical parameters between limbs within a gait cycle. Human gait is highly symmetrical; however, in the presence of pathology, gait often lacks symmetry.

Temporal coherency of mechanical stimuli modulates tactile form perception

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The human hand can detect both form and texture information of a contact surface. The detection of skin displacement (sustained stimulus) and changes in skin displacement (transient stimulus) are thought to be mediated in different tactile channels ...

Interstitial gas and density segregation of vertically vibrated granular media. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 2005
We report experimental studies of the effect of interstitial gas on mass-density segregation in a vertically vibrated mixture of equal-sized bronze and glass spheres.

Joint mobility changes due to low frequency vibration and stretching exercise [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Sports Medicine, 1976
It has been shown that fifteen minutes of locally applied cycloid vibration of low amplitude and frequency is equally as effective as a fifteen minute programme of flexibility exercises in increasing short term mobility of the hip flexors. It is suggested that this mobility change may occur as a result of improved muscle relaxation.

Experiments and Simulations on Vibration Induced Densification of Bulk Solids

open access: yesKONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014
The change in bulk density or solids fraction that occurs when a vessel of granular materials is vibrated is an important, industrially-relevant process.

Tactile vibration: Change of exponent with frequency [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 1968
When cross-modality matches were made between a 60-Hz vibration and such other continua as electric current through the finger, number, force of handgrip, and both binaural and monaural loudness, the exponent of the power function for vibration was found to be about 1.0 at 60 Hz.

Effects of change in Frequency of Ultrasonic Vibrations on Heat Transfer.

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series B, 1998
The heat transfer coefficients during natural convection of water on a downward-facing horizontal surface and that on a vertical surface were measured under the influence of ultrasonic vibrations. The multi-type oscillation used in this experiment was able to operate at three frequencies-28, 45, and 100 kHz-not only continuously, but also ...

Impact of vibration on the quality of tomato produced by stimulated transport

open access: yes, 2021
This paper aims to investigate the potential effect of vibration stress during stimulated transport and to evaluate the effect of storage’s temperature and duration on weight loss, color changes, firmness, and total soluble solid of tomatoes.

CHANGE IN STRENGTH PARAMETERS OF DISPERSED SOILS AFTER HIGH-FREQUENCY VIBRATION

open access: yesConstruction and Geotechnics, 2021
The use of the technology of high-frequency sheet piles driving or extraction in conditions of weak, structurally unstable soils inevitably leads to a change in the structure of the soil. This is especially true for buildings which fall into the zone of influence.
