DOI: 10.1016/j.combustflame.2019.10.004
Abstract: Abstract The response of laminar methane/air counterflow premixed flames under sinusoidal equivalence ratio oscillation was investigated numerically. The timescales of the oscillation were chosen to be sufficiently longer than the flame timescale so that the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ergon.2020.102991
Abstract: Abstract Manual labor is still strongly present in many industrial contexts (such as aerospace industry). Such operations commonly involve onerous tasks requiring to work in non-ergonomic conditions and to manipulate heavy parts. As a result,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2021.110501
Abstract: Back-support exoskeletons (BSEs) are a promising ergonomic intervention to mitigate the risk of occupational low back pain. Although growing evidence points to the beneficial effects of BSEs, specifically in reducing low-back physical demands, there is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1108/ecam-12-2022-1156
Abstract: PurposeConcrete workers perform physically demanding work in awkward postures, exposing their backs to musculoskeletal disorders. Back-support exoskeletons are promising ergonomic interventions designed to reduce the risks of back disorders. However, the suitability of exoskeletons for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00171.2021
Abstract: Despite several attempts to quantify the metabolic savings resulting from the use of passive back-support exoskeletons (BSEs), no study has modeled the metabolic change while wearing an exoskeleton during lifting. The objectives of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19169965
Abstract: Due to the load shifting mechanism of many back-support exoskeletons (BSEs), this study evaluated possible side effects of using a BSE on knee joint loading. Twenty-nine subjects (25.9 (±4.4) years, 179.0 (±6.5) cm; 73.6 (±9.4)… read more here.
