SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY FILM DAMPING FOR SMART MINIATURE SYSTEMS

Shape memory alloy film damping for smart miniature systems

This paper presents a dynamic MUSTARD analysis of the free and forced vibration of a free-standing bridge of superelastic shape memory alloy TiNiCuCo film with ultra-low fatigue properties and evaluates its versatility for novel miniature scale damping applications.A thermodynamics-based finite element model is used to simulate the evolution of mar

Impact of community-based precision functional training on older adults’ walking and cognitive abilities in rural Taiwan: a pre–posttest study

Abstract Background Functional training is essential for maintaining the independence of older adults, especially Hospital Bedrails in rural areas with limited resources.In this study, we assess the short-term and long-term impacts of the Precision Functional Training (PFT) program on mobility outcomes, specifically walking performance, and cogniti
