The choice of reference point for computing sagittal plane angular momentum affects inferences about dynamic balance

Background Measures of whole-body angular momentum in the sagittal plane are commonly used to characterize dynamic balance during human walking.To compute angular momentum, one must specify a reference point about which momentum is calculated.Although biomechanists primarily compute angular momentum about the center of mass (CoM), momentum-based co

Seismic correlation coefficient evaluation for the application of separation of variables approach in fragility assessment

Seismic correlation can affect seismic probabilistic risk assessment results when components within the system have similar dynamic characteristics.While the fragility assessment methodology is well Blade Guards established, researches to evaluate and apply seismic correlation in fragility are still in progress.In this study, the seismic correlatio
