The Tri-axial test involves applying radial and axial stresses or displacements to a cylindrical sample of soil obtained from a particular site. The soil sample is enclosed

Biomechanics of Injury: Notes Sports injuries are divided into two categories: Acute and Chronic Acute Injury Acute injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising. E.g. sprained ankles‚ strained back and fractured hands are acute injuries. Signs of acute injury include: Sudden severe pain Swelling Inability to place weight on a lower limb Extreme tenderness in an upper limb Inability to move a joint through full range of motion Extreme limb weakness Visible dislocation/break

weights in a varied manner incorporating both the volume and intensity while the other method which is the periodization employs a more planed training with the time available for training being apportioned evenly to ensure better development of strength and muscles and also controlling if not eradicating over training. Important to note that before any of the above methods are used in training a proper understanding of each is paramount for effective and avoiding simple injuries that may

Exercising has a way of improving individual’s emotional and physical strength. Exercise improves memory and treats depression. The theory behind exercise is the chemicals produced at the stage of exercising and how it boosts up our moods. Exercising does not necessary mean being at the gym and killing yourself to show how

You get a much higher intensity and calorie burn from circuit training‚ but you keep all the Zumba excitement! Zumba toning also uses toning sticks‚ which are light weights specially designed for the unique dance and strength moves of Zumba toning. They’re filled with sand (rather than being solid core) so they move smoothly and don’t jar your

High strength to weight ratio‚ environmental resistance‚ high stiffness and good wear resistance are the characteristics that encourages more research to develop their applications with further improvement in the properties. Ceramic particles such as SiC‚ Al2O3‚ B4C‚ TiC and TiB2 are the widely used materials for reinforcement of aluminium [1]. Boron carbide (B4C) is one of the most promising ceramic materials due to its high strength‚ low density (2.52 g/cm3)‚ high hardness

Tensile tests are simple‚ relatively inexpensive‚ and fully standardized. By pulling on something‚ you will very quickly determine how the material will react to forces being applied in tension. As the material is being pulled‚ you will find its strength along with how much it will elongate. During tensile testing the tensile load is measured by a load cell while extension of the specimen is measured over the gauge length. Data is provided by a computer program‚ which is used to determine stress
