Abstract: The correct modelling of constitutive laws is critical importance for the analysis mechanical behaviour solids and structures. For example, understanding soft tissue mechanics, because nonlinear commonly displayed by properties such materials, makes common place use hyperelastic models. Hyperelastic models however, depend on sets variables that must be obtained experimentally. In this study authors a computational/experimental scheme, biological tissues under uniaxial tension....
Abstract In this work the recently proposed Reduced Enhanced Solid‐Shell (RESS) finite element, based on enhanced assumed strain (EAS) method and a one‐point quadrature integration scheme, is extended in order to account for large deformation elastoplastic thin‐shell problems. One of main features element consists its minimal number enhancing parameters (one), sufficient circumvent well‐known Poisson volumetric locking phenomena, leading computationally efficient performance when compared...
Abstract A hyperbolic sine shear deformation theory is used for the linear buckling analysis of functionally graded plates. The accounts through‐the‐thickness deformations. governing equations and boundary conditions are derived using Carrera's Unified Formulation further interpolated by collocation with radial basis functions. method truly meshless, allowing a fast simple discretization in domain on boundary. numerical investigation has been conducted considering neglecting thickness...
Abstract This cross-sectional survey aims to (1) verify the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its impact on quality life among nulliparous fit women, (2) analyze whether is influenced by intensity sport (high- vs. low-impact) or volume physical activity (minutes per week) performed. Two hundred forty-five women (18–40 years) completed International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, Kings Health Questionnaire a questionnaire regarding demographic training variables....
The aim of this study was to investigate in young nulliparous female trampolinists the hypothetical associations between level athletic performance and volume training with urine leakage.Cross-sectional cohort study.Professional trampolinists.Twenty-two athletes participating a trampoline national championship were included study.The for player-related variables evaluated using Spearman rank correlation Kruskal-Wallis H test verified differences tertiles.Rate urinary incontinence (UI) among...
The customer experience is important for adding value to firms' offerings but two challenges arise: the increasingly created through interactions with product–service systems (PSSs) and it formed all moments of interaction multiple firms. Incorporating requirements (ERs) into design PSSs therefore a complex task. To address this challenge, paper presents an extension Kansei engineering method consisting components. First, includes in-depth study from holistic perspective that informs...
Objective To evaluate the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in female elite athletes compared with controls and to investigate potential risk factors for UI among athletes. Methods This cross-sectional study included 372 (athletes group, AG) age-matched (control CG). The median age was low (19 years) vast majority were nulliparous. Potential factors, including clinical, demographic sports practice characteristics, collected by using a questionnaire. International Consultation on...
