The purpose of this study was to validate a 3D dynamic virtual model for lifting tasks against a validated link segment model (LSM). A face validation study was conducted by collecting x, y, z coordinate data and using them in both virtual and LSM models. An upper body virtual model was needed to calculate the 3D torques about human joints for use ...

This experimental and numerical study concerns the maintenance and reinforcement of damaged pavements by mean of bituminous overlays. Its main objective is the improvement of the techniques used for pavement rehabilitation. In this domain, one of the major problems observed is the frequent incidence of reflective cracking over the top asphalted new...
