In this review, we discuss the current knowledge on the tribology of human skin and present
an analysis of the available experimental results for skin friction coefficients. Starting with an …

Over the last two decades finite element modelling has been widely used to give new insight
on foot and footwear biomechanics. However its actual contribution for the improvement of …

The aim of this paper is to provide a general review of the computational models of the
human foot. The field of computational simulation in biomechanics has significantly …

The objective of this study is to develop a computational framework for investigating the

The objective of this study was to measure the combined effects of fiber type (fine wool, mid-
micron wool, acrylic), yarn type (high twist, low twist, single) and fabric structure (single …

The popularity of ultramarathon races continue to grow with runners participating in races
throughout the world. These events offer challenges unique to an ultramarathon compared …

Walking barefoot or in socks is common for ambulating indoors and has been reported to be
associated with increased risk of falls and related injuries in the elderly. This study sought to …
