Harnessing flow-induced vibrations for energy harvesting: Experimental and numerical insights using piezoelectric transducer

by Md Islam, Ussama Ali, Shital Mone

Flow-induced vibrations (FIV) were considered as unwanted vibrations analogous to noise. However, in a recent trend, the energy of these vibrations can be harvested and converted to electrical power. In this study, the potential of FIV as a source of renewable energy is highlighted through experimental and numerical analyses. The experimental study was conducted on an elastically mounted circular cylinder using helical and leaf springs in the wind tunnel. Читать дальше...

Analysis of lower limb muscle strength characteristics of amateur runners with patellofemoral pain: A cross-sectional study

by Gangrui Chen, Zhongke Gu, Peixun Wang, Yuxuan Qi, Jiansong Dai

To analyze the lower limb muscle strength characteristics of amateur runners with patellofemoral pain (PFP). Sixty amateur runners (30 in the knee pain group, 30 in the control group) underwent measurements of hip abduction strength, knee extension strength, and knee flexion strength. Additionally, the hamstring/quadriceps ratio and limb strength symmetry index were calculated for all participants. Statistical analyses were conducted using linear mixed models. Читать дальше...
