Study on Deflection of Surrounding Rock Force Chain and Disaster Mechanism of Instability in Deep Stope by Guang-Xiang Xie, Anying Yuan, Lei Wang

“…The main mechanical characteristics of the force chain shell were as follows: the strength levels of the force chains within the shell were the largest; the strength levels of the force chains inside and outside the shell were relatively low and had evolved with the advancement of the working face; the directions of the force chains in different areas of the surrounding rock masses of the stope were deflected, forming an anisotropic characteristic with a certain deflection angle which was distributed in the vertical direction at the shell base; the force chains at the shell shoulder were angled in the horizontal direction, and the force chain at the shell top had an obvious horizontal direction; finally, the strong chain clusters of the surrounding rock masses of the stope formed a force chain shell in the stope space, and the stress shell was the macroscopic embodiment of the force transference in the force chain shell formed by the force chain clusters, which revealed not only the mechanical mechanism of the force chain shell formed by the surrounding rock but also the relationship between the macro stress shell and the stress chain shell. …”

The interaction of post-activation potentiation and fatigue on skeletal muscle twitch torque and displacement by Georg Langen, Georg Langen, Frank Warschun, Olaf Ueberschär, Olaf Ueberschär, Michael Behringer

“…Consequently, TMG parameters could not accurately detect potentiated or fatigued participants as indicated by the peak twitch torque.DiscussionThe TMG parameters’ insufficient diagnostic accuracy likely resulted from a reduced signal-to-noise ratio at 90° knee flexion and the associated longer muscle length of the RF, compared to more extended knee angles commonly employed in TMG studies. These results highlight an important methodological consideration as the joint angle, i.e. muscle length, appears to influence the TMG parameters’ ability to detect exercise-induced changes in contractile properties.…”
