The effect of active exoskeleton support with different lumbar-to-hip support ratios on spinal musculoskeletal loading and lumbar kinematics during lifting by Niels P. Brouwer, Ali Tabasi, Feng Hu, Idsart Kingma, Wietse van Dijk, Mohamed Irfan Mohamed Refai, Herman van der Kooij, Jaap H. van Dieën

“…While active back-support exoskeletons can reduce mechanical loading of the spine, current designs include only one pair of actuated hip joints combined with a rigid structure between the pelvis and trunk attachments, restricting lumbar flexion and consequently intended lifting behavior. This study presents a novel active exoskeleton including actuated lumbar and hip joints as well as subject-specific exoskeleton control based on a real-time active low-back moment estimation. …”

Analysis of the Thermal Effects on the Behaviour of Steel Connection Beam Section by Seelam Srikanth, Sai Nitesh KJN, Chunchu Bala Rama Krishna, Vasugi K, Cheerla Prabhu Teja, Sesha Rao Y, Sanjeev Kumar, Dumesa Gudissa Lemu

“…To lower the cross-sectional area of the beam flanges, several shape cuts (uniform, radius, taper, and straight cut) are available, and a piece of the beam flanges at the column face is purposefully intended to yield and plastic hinge. The use of a lowered beam section connection reduces stress absorption since the criteria for a strong column–weak beam are met. …”
