13. On the occurrence and ecology of Glaucus atlanticus Forster, 1777 (Mollusca: Nudibranchia) along the Southwestern Atlantic coast
Abstract: Unlike the majority of the nudibranchs, Glaucidae lives adrift at the sea surface within Tropical and Subtropical ocean basins, feeding on cnidarians or using them to attach their egg strings as a reproductive strategy. The latitudinal distribution of Glaucus atlanticus throughout the Brazilian Province is influenced by the Brazil current and, in i

14. Reconfiguration of multi-stage tensegrity structures using infinitesimal mechanisms
Abstract The use of tensegrity structures in soft robotics has seen an increased interest in recent years thanks to their mechanical properties, but the control of these systems remains an open problem. This paper presents a reconfiguration strategy for actuated multi-stage tensegrity structures. The algorithm works on the principle of using the infinitesima

15. Seismic Evaluation of Horizontally Curved Bridges Subjected to Near-Field Ground Motions
Abstract Horizontally curved bridges have more complex seismic behavior than straight bridges and have been more vulnerable to earthquakes. The present study aimed to evaluate the seismic response of concrete bridges with straight and arched box girder decks in isolated and non-isolated states. The results indicated that increasing the curvature of the non-i

16. Boundary Layer Effects in a Finite Linearly Elastic Peridynamic Bar
Abstract The peridynamic theory is an extension of the classical continuum mechanics theory. The peridynamic governing equations involve integrals of interaction forces between near particles separated by finite distances. These forces depend upon the relative displacements between material points within a body. On the other hand, the classical governing equ

17. Analytical solution for nonlinear dynamic behavior of viscoelastic nano-plates modeled by consistent couple stress theory
Abstract This paper analyses the non-stationary free vibration and nonlinear dynamic behavior of the viscoelastic nano-plates. For this purpose, a size-dependent theory is developed in the framework of the consistent couple stress theory for viscoelastic materials. The previously presented modified couple stress theory was based on some consideration making

18. A Parametric Study on the Centrifugal Force-Induced Stress and Displacements in Power-Law Graded Hyperbolic Discs
Abstract An extensive parametric study on the variation of the centrifugal-force-induced stress and displacements with the inhomogeneity indexes, profile parameters and boundary conditions is conducted based on the author’s recently published analytical formulas for radially functionally power-law graded rotating hyperbolic discs under axisymmetric condit

19. Numerical analysis of RC plane structures: a concentrated nonlinear effect approach
Abstract The present work aims to study the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures via Refined Plastic Hinge Method (RPHM). Pseudo-springs are used at the finite element ends, where the gradual loss of stiffness is determined by the combination of the normal force and bending moment (NM) in the cross section. The limiting of the uncracked, ela

20. Peripheral device to quantify grip and pinch capacity of children
Abstract Introduction Grip and pinch movements are important to perform daily activities and to manipulate objects. In this paper we describe the development and evaluation of a peripheral device to quantify cylindrical grip, pulp-to-pulp pinch, pulp-to-side pinch strength and range of motion of children. Methods Three objects were selected: a door handl

21. Axial Crushing of Uni-Sectional Bi-Tubular Inner Tubes with Multiple Outer Cross-Sections
Abstract Increase of energy absorption along with smooth load displacement curve, reduced peak force and high mean crushing force is the key in the modern dynamic design of structures. In this regard, a new metallic tubular configuration consisting of uni-sectional bi-tubular inner tubes, with outer tubes of multiple varied cross-sections is proposed and cru

22. Development of a low cost force platform for biomechanical parameters analysis
AbstractIntroduction: The maintenance of balance and body orientation during standing is essential to perform different activities. One of the devices used to measure balance them is the force platform. This device measures the ground reaction force (GRF) and displacement of the center of pressure (COP), both biomechanical parameters involved in human motion

23. Impact Damage Analysis with Stress Continuity Constraints Fulfilment at Damaged-Undamaged Regions and at Layer Interfaces
Abstract Low-velocity impacts have a relevant importance for safety of laminated and sandwich composite structures, because they are highly susceptible to damage. In this paper, a 3D cost effective zig-zag model is developed in order to efficiently simulate such impacts. It a priori fulfills the continuity of out-of-plane stresses at layer interfaces, the co

24. Reliability and minimal detectable change of between-limb synchronization, weight-bearing symmetry, and amplitude of postural sway in individuals with stroke
Abstract Introduction: Recently, variables related to between-limb synchronization of the centers of pressure (COP) have been proposed as measures of postural control in post-stroke patients. Although it is crucial in verifying their potential clinical use, the reliability of these variables is unknown. The aim of this work was to determine the reliability
