As we age, maintaining joint health becomes increasingly crucial. Joint discomfort and stiffness can affect everyday activities, from simple tasks like picking up groceries to more strenuous endeavors ...

Abstract: Flexure hinge-based compliant mechanisms find extensive applications in micro/nano actuation, where their transmission characteristics are significantly affected by stiffness. Traditional ...

Schematic diagram depicting the mechanism of the rigid matrix regulating cell glycolysis in degenerated NPCs. In degenerated NP tissue, MRTF-A was activated by increased matrix stiffness and ...

I have been using this software for a little time now and start having a base understanding of both the paradigm and this implementation. In particular, I mainly experiment with cloth simulation (for ...
