Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject

Conference Proceeding
Maeda, S., Taylor, M. D., Anderson, L., & Mclaughlin, J. (in press)
Assessing correlation of human response to vibration through vibrotactile threshold shift with vibration exposure determined on the subject. In 53rd UK Conference on Human Responses to Vibration (UK HRV) Proceedings
Existing risk assessment methodologies are based on fixed tool vibration magnitude emission data and tool usage time. The research evaluates the relationship between vibration...

The use of artificial compressibility to improve partitioned semi-implicit FSI coupling within the classical Chorin–Témam projection framework

Journal Article
He, T., Wang, T., & Zhang, H. (2018)
The use of artificial compressibility to improve partitioned semi-implicit FSI coupling within the classical Chorin–Témam projection framework. Computers and Fluids, 166, 64-77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2018.01.022
Over the last decade the classical Chorin–Témam projection method has been utilized to address fluid- structure interaction in a semi-implicit manner. In previous studies the ...
