Abstract:
To reveal the mechanism of weak roof shocking in mine roadway arranged in weakly consolidated soft rock strata commonly observed in western China, a bearing system of composite roof composed of weakly consolidated soft rocks and coal layers was proposed. Then, theoretical analysis and numerical calculation were applied for instability failures of the mass bearing system with strong body and weak body. Eventually, precursory information and criteria of instability failures of the bearing system were developed. The main conclusions obtained are as follows: (1) as the elastic energy released at t

Background: The body mass index (BMI) is closely related to fat tissue, which may have direct or indirect effects on muscle function. Previous studies have evaluated BMI and muscle viscoelastic properties in vivo in older people or individual sexes; however, the relationship between BMI and muscular viscoelastic properties is still unknown. Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of BMI with muscular viscoelastic properties, and to compare these properties in a young sedentary population with normal and overweight individuals. Methods: A total of 172 healthy sedentary

Abstract:
Due to the development of high speed machinery, robots, and aerospace structures, the research of flexible body systems undergoing both gross motion and elastic deformation has seen increasing importance. The finite element method and modal analysis are often used in formulating equations of motion for dynamic analysis of the systems which entail time domain, forced vibration analysis. This study develops a new method based on dynamic stiffness to investigate forced vibration of flexible body systems. In contrast to the conventional finite element method, shape functions and stiffness matrices
