Evaluation of the stiffnesses of the Achilles tendon and soleus from the apparent stiffness of the triceps surae
(SAGE, 2015-01)
The triceps surae plays an important role in the performance of many sports. Although the apparent average mechanical properties of the triceps surae may be a satisfactory parameter for estimating the training level of an ...

Influence of the size and depth of a circumferential notch on the impact behavior of streetlights. A passive-safety concept
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
Impact tests on weakened streetlights were carried out using a high energy pendulum. The weakening mechanism consists of a circumferential notch at the base of the streetlight. The objective is twofold: firstly to reduce ...

A critical study on the experimental determination of stiffness and viscosity of the human triceps surae by free vibration methods
(Sage, 2013-09)
Muscles and tendons play an important role in human performance. Their mechanical behaviour can be described by analytical/numerical models including springs and dampers. Free vibration techniques are a widely used approach ...
