A simplified approach towards integrating biomechanical simulations into engineering environments
Krüger, Daniel; Miehling, Jörg; Wartzack, Sandro // 2012
In human-centered design biomechanical simulations can be used to predict the characteristics of the interaction between the user and the product in order to optimize the design with respect to ...
A SPINNING-HULL APPROACH PROVIDING RAPID BALANCE CALCULATIONS WHEN MODELLING HUMAN POSTURES
Medland, A. J. // 2012
Modeling of the posture of humans may require a search for balance. This is obtained by ensuring that the CofG lies within the convex hull created about the feet. Balance and the shape of the convex ...

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
