DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2019.103306
Abstract: Abstract The vertical stiffness of elastomeric bearing is a dominant parameter of the base isolation design. Several empirical relations have been used to calculate the vertical stiffness of the elastomeric bearing systems, although, in certain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17461391.2019.1652350
Abstract: ABSTRACT The purpose was to test whether lower-extremity vertical stiffness and gait mechanics explain differences in energy cost of walking (Cw) between individuals with normal weight (NW) and obesity (OB). Ten OB (33.1 ± 2.0 kg m−2) and 10 NW… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/3826503
Abstract: Currently, there are several computational methods for stiffness during a hopping task, but they do not necessarily yield the same values. Therefore, it is essential that the simplicity of the equipment used does not affect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0208439
Abstract: Since higher vertical stiffness is related to superior athletic performance, training has traditionally been aimed at augmenting this variable to enhance neuromuscular output. However, research has linked elevated stiffness with increased injury risk, therefore, this… read more here.
