Floor Response of SDOF Systems with Metallic Structural Fuses
(2004-06-26)
The floor demands of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) systems designed or retrofitted with metallic structural fuses are studied in this article. Floor velocity and acceleration are obtained and comparisons are made between ...
Seismic Design of Multi-story Buildings with Metallic Structural Fuses
(2006-06-28)
Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for ...
Seismic Response of Hybrid Systems with Metallic and Viscous Dampers
(2016-06-27)
Metallic dampers can enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced lateral displacements, and by reducing inelastic behavior of beams and columns. Limiting story drift also indirectly allows for mitigation ...
Comparação do efeito agudo do alongamento passivo-estático em indivíduos pouco flexíveis e muito flexíveis
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2011-08-19)
Stretching exercises is usualy employed in flexibility training and physical activity programs. However, there still is a considerable lack of information regarding the effects of stretching in subjects with different leves ...
An experimental switchable stiffness device for shock isolation

Transmissão de força miofascial do músculo grande dorsal para o glúteo máximo contralateral: uma investigação in vivo
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2012-03-02)
Introduction: Studies have demonstrated that the tension produced by a muscle can be transferred to anatomically distant structures through the connective tissue network of the human body. The extensive connection of ...
Does epimuscular myofascial force transmission occur between the human quadriceps muscles in vivo during passive stretching?
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 Elsevier LtdThis study sought to examine the shear modulus (i.e., an force index) of three quadriceps muscles [i.e., vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL), and rectus femoris (RF)] during passive stretching ...
