Scoliosis Analog Model for the Evaluation of Bracing Technology
… The objective was to design and validate an analog model of a mid-thoracic single curve scoliotic deformity for quantifying structural properties of the brace and the force response of the brace on the spine. This model was used to investigate the effects of strap-related brace design …

Investigation of a three-dimensional analog model for waterflood predictions
Includes bibliographical references (pages 48-50).

Aeroelastic optimization of thin flapping structure
… semi-circular elastic plate as a reduced analog model. The aerodynamic performance of the fans is systematically characterized for a variety of geometric and material parameters, as well as the amplitude of the periodic driving. We demonstrate that the bending stiffness of the structure …

Magnitude Recoding in Variable-Range Memorial Comparisons
Several experiments examine propositional and analog model explanations of how relative size judgments are made. Analog models generally claim that analog size values are retrieved from memory and compared. Time to judge remembered size thus reflects a memorial pyschophysics. In contrast, one …

Applications of load flow by hybrid computer
… times in certain applications was explained. An analog model of an electric power system was developed. This model included representations of transmission lines, buses, loads and generations. When the hybrid load flow was implemented, the results indicated that the algorithm was very useful in …

Chamber Hall Threshold Design and Acoustic Surface Shaping with Parametric Modeling
… for the design of concert halls. From physical model building to analysis by computer simulation, digital technology has undoubtedly advanced the realm of acoustic prediction. But common computer prediction programs that exist today are still essentially digitized applications of the analog …

Quantum signal processing by single-qubit dynamics
… computation is the most powerful realizable model of computation, and is uniquely positioned to solve specialized problems intractable to classical computers. This quantum advantage arises from directly exploiting the strangeness of quantum mechanics that is fundamental to reality. As such, …

Displacement rate and temperature effect on asphalt concrete cracking potential
… rule. A generalized viscoelastic mechanical analog model was shown to successfully represent strength of the two mixes over a wide range of temperatures. However, the application of TTSP for fracture energy is limited and varying with the change in temperatures and material properties. Mixes …

Geometrically nonlinear configurations in rod-like structures
… We overcome these challenges by combining model experiments with cutting-edge computational tools ported from computer graphics, and theoretical analysis towards developing predictive physical understanding of these systems. The prominence of geometry in this class of systems enables the …

Design, Validation, and Clinical Testing of a Novel Fastening Device for a Scoliosis Brace
… (CTU) Brace, Robotic Testing Platform, Scoliosis Analog Model (SAM), Lab Tensiometers. The methods were as follows: Three brace configurations were tested: Native Standard Brace, Standard (CTU) Brace, and Standard (Velcro Strap) Brace. A low tension CTU (≈20N) was used for all tests. Throughout …
