A second order, linear oscillator transfer function model is fit to the measured transfer function relating the abduction-adduction rotation of the first finger to the applied moment. Nearly constant isometric contractions of the first palmar and dorsal interossei are maintained by the subjects during the measurements. The stiffness and damping components of the identified models increase significantly with increasing isometric contraction when compared to those recorded under relaxed contraction. Muscle fatigue causes the natural frequency, damping ratio and stiffness of the joint rotation to decrease under full isometric contraction, and it causes the natural frequency and stiffness to increase when the muscles are relaxed.

Dynamic analysis and parameter identification of a single mass elastomeric isolation system represented by a Maxwell-Voigt model is examined. Influences that the stiffness and damping values of the Maxwell element have on natural frequency, damping ratio, and frequency response are uncovered and three unique categories of Maxwell-type elements are defined. It is also shown that Voigt and Maxwell-Voigt models with equivalent natural frequencies and damping ratios can have considerably different frequency response spectra. Lastly, a parameter identification method is developed for identifying Maxwell-Voigt models from frequency response spectra. The method is based on constant natural frequency and damping ratio curves generated from modal analysis of potential Maxwell-Voigt models.

Passive Isolation

In order to isolate the structural vibration in high frequency range effectively, low damping ratio of the isolator is preferred in the high frequency range. While in order to constrain the peak response value near the natural frequency, high damping ratio is preferred. Damping ratio of a passive isolation system is constant with respect to frequency. It cannot fulfill such a conflict request. A novel hybrid isolator, which consists of a passive one and a force actuator, was brought out in this paper to achieve a varying damping ratio with respect to frequency. The force actuator detects the deformation of the isolator and generates actuating force according to a designed transfer function. The transfer function was designed to have the property of increasing the damping near the natural frequency of the suspension system and decreasing the damping ratio in the high frequency range. Two application examples were given and good effect was found.

Transfer function model with multiple input is a multivariate time series forecasting model that combines several characteristics of ARIMA models by utilizing some regression analysis properties. This model is used to determine the effect of output series towards input series so that the model can be used to analyze the factors that affect the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). The USD exchange rate against rupiah and Dow Jones Index (DJI) were used as input series. The transfer function model was constructed through several stages: model identification stage, estimation of transfer function model, and model diagnostic test. Based on the transfer function model, the JII was influenced by JII at the period of one and two days before. JII was also affected by the USD exchange rate against rupiah at the same period and at one and two days before. In addition, the JII was influenced by DJI at the same period and also at period of one until five days ago. The Mean Absolute Prencentage Error (MAPE) value of forecasting result was 0.70% and the correlation between actual and forecast data was 0.77. This shows that the model was well performed for forecasting JII.

This paper seeks to assess the effectiveness of customs policies in increasing the resources devoted to controlling and inspection. Specifically, it seeks to analyze whether an increase in the administrative cost of collecting taxes on foreign trade in Ecuador contributes to reducing customs fraud. To this end, we identify and estimate a transfer function model (ARIMAX), considering information on foreign trade such as official international trade statistics report and tariff rates, as well as the execution of budgetary expenditure and Ecuador’s gross domestic product (GDP). The period under study includes quarterly series from 2006 to 2018. The results obtained by the model indicate that allocating greater material and budgetary resources to combat customs fraud does not always achieve the objective of reducing customs evasion.

Stiffness And Damping

As human occupancy has an enormous effect on the dynamics of light, flexible, large-span, low-damping structures, which are sensitive to human-induced vibrations, it is essential to investigate the effects of pedestrian–structure interaction. The single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) mass–spring–damping (MSD) model, the simplest dynamical model that considers how pedestrian mass, stiffness and damping impact the dynamic properties of structures, is widely used in civil engineering. With field testing methods and the SDOF MSD model, this study obtained pedestrian dynamics parameters from measured data of the properties of both empty structures and structures with pedestrian occupancy. The parameters identification procedure involved individuals at four walking frequencies. Body frequency is positively correlated to the walking frequency, while a negative correlation is observed between the body damping ratio and the walking frequency. The test results further show a negative correlation between the pedestrian’s frequency and his/her weight, but no significant correlation exists between one’s damping ratio and weight. The findings provide a reference for structural vibration serviceability assessments that would consider pedestrian–structure interaction effects.

BACKGROUND: Although the medial and lateral hamstrings are clearly distinct anatomically and have different functions in the transverse plane, they are often considered as one muscle during rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity between the prone position and the supine position during maximal isometric contraction and to additionally confirm the effect of submaximal isometric contractions on EMG activity of medial and lateral hamstrings, and force. METHODS: In the prone position, EMG activities of the long head of biceps femoris (BFLH) and semitendinosus (ST) were measured during the maximal isometric contraction. In the supine position, hip extension force with EMG activity were measured during the maximal and the submaximal isometric contractions. RESULTS: EMG activity in the prone position was significantly decreased in the supine position. In the supine position, there was a significant difference between the BFLH and ST during the maximal isometric contraction, but not during the submaximal isometric contractions. CONCLUSIONS: The dependence on the hamstrings could be relatively lower during hip extensions. When the medial and lateral hamstrings are considered separately, the lateral hamstrings may show a more active response, with increased muscle length, in clinical practice.
