(a) Mechanism for the feel of softness by a human fingertip. (b) Structure of the indentor. The two sensors are integrated on the sphere surface. (c) Multi-segment displacement control of the indentor ...

Background One injury mechanism in ice hockey is impact with the boards. We investigated whether more flexible hockey boards would provide less biomechanical loading on impact than did existing ...

Nowadays, instrumented indentation is routinely used in quality control as well as in many different areas of industrial and academic research. This technique is generally known as nanoindentation ...

In demanding applications, structural materials can be subject to both high temperatures and high stresses at the same time. The combination of temperature and stress in metals often leads to ...

Economic efficiency and minimizing labor displacement may be mutually unattainable goals in regional air-pollution control planning. This paper develops a model in which pollution-control methods are ...
