This paper provides theoretical estimates that quantify and clarify the savings associated to the use of element-level static condensation as a first step of an iterative solver. These estimates are verified numerically. ...

Power system stability is widely assessed by tools that model the network and the connected machine stators through algebraic equations and synchronous generators through differential equations, meaning that quasi-static ...

Background Graft elongation might be a major reason for increased anterior laxity after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This study analyzed the force relaxation values and their stabilization when single ...

Pseudo-static slope stability procedures are often employed to evaluate the seismic performance of geotechnical slope systems, at least in the initial evaluation stages. To yield meaningful results, these methods should ...

The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the use of high-heeled shoes on static balance in young adult women. Fifty-three women between 18 and 30 years of age and accustomed to wearing high-heeled shoes ...
