Differences in spatiotemporal pressure and performance between Chinese and German elite youth football players during matches by Yapu Liang, Tianhe Li, Hansi Xu, Peng Zhang

“…The Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal–Wallis H test were used to identify significant differences, with post hoc comparisons conducted where necessary.ResultsResults show that the German team consistently maintained greater D than the Chinese team (p < 0.001, d = 0.463), highlighting their superior spatial management and tactical adaptability.DiscussionGreater D was associated with enhanced offensive flexibility and defensive stability, allowing the German team to create space effectively and maintain structural integrity under pressure. In contrast, the Chinese team’s smaller D suggested limitations in spatial utilization and higher defensive engagement risks. …”

Substructural Identification of Flexural Rigidity for Beam-Like Structures by Ki-Young Koo, Jin-Hak Yi

“…This study proposes a novel substructural identification method based on the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory with a single variable optimization scheme to estimate the flexural rigidity of a beam-like structure such as a bridge deck, which is one of the major structural integrity indices of a structure. In ordinary bridges, the boundary condition of a superstructure can be significantly altered by aging and environmental variations, and the actual boundary conditions are generally unknown or difficult to be estimated correctly. …”
