In the early days of the modern Olympics and Paralympics, athletes competed using heavy, non-aerodynamic equipment. The record for throwing a javelin, for instance, has almost doubled since 1908, when ...

Due to the importance of mechanical processes in biological organisms, there have been a large variety of methods developed to study these processes. However, most of these methods are limited to ...

With the development of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) technology, variable stiffness and damping MRF dampers as semi-active controllers gradually show their unique advantages in the vibration control ...
