The effect of vibrations on gait is a topic that has not been sufficiently analyzed. Thirty-one volunteers underwent 50 walking trials on a modified treadmill with three degrees of freedom including normal walking and walking in the presence…

This paper presents a method of modeling cell growth phenomenon of the arterial wall exposed to vibration. The arteries constantly adapt their morphology to counter the effects of internal disorders or external stresses. It is assumed that…

The physiopathological mechanisms induced by exposure of the hand-arm system to vibration are still ill-known, despite the steps taken by the European States to protect workers. That lack of knowledge lies behind the lack of representativeness…

The aim of this study was to analyse by means of numerical simulation the influence of the tire properties on the vibratory behaviour of a forklift truck. It was shown how to build a model with adequate tests to characterize the tires and forklift…

Physical simulators do not possess animation tools efficient enough to let a virtual human keep its balance and realize tasks while interacting in a very general way with its environment. We propose a dynamical controller of virtual humans…

A French company, member of a European group of the steel industry requested help from INRS to improve its procedures for securing steel products shipped by road.
These products take the form of coils of steel wire (used for reinforcement of concrete…
