Novel Engineering Methodology for Decoupled Aerothermal Analysis of Hypersonic Atmospheric Entry Flows
Authors: Cooper Justin M. , Martin Alexandre
Published: February 2023

Analyses of thermal protection system response to atmospheric entry are generally performed in a decoupled manner where some terms in the surface balance equations are simplified. In such an approach, surface fluxes are calculated using a fluid dynamics solution of the hypersonic flowfield. These are nondimensionalized for use by a material response code, where correction terms are applied to account for the missing physics. A new method is presented here that directly includes ablation physics, thus removing the need for correction models. This approach includes the diffusion processes of ablative species in the boundary layer and nonequilibrium surface chemistry. The new approach is compared to the heritage methodology using a trajectory designed to allow molecular dissociation and vibrational energy contribution. The new methodology predicts surface temperatures with the same qualitative trend, with the largest disagreements in areas of the trajectory where nonequilibrium effects are expected to occur. The solid ablation flux and subsequent recession behavior are consistently lower for the new method, but this discrepancy in surface thermochemistry can be decreased by adopting kinetic models with more aggressive oxidation mechanisms. It is found that a large difference in computed recession does not necessarily equate to the largest difference in heat shield sizing.
Thrust Integrated Trajectory Optimization for Multipulse Rocket Missiles Using Convex Programming
Authors: Jung Cheol-Goo , Kim Boseok , Jung Ki-Wook , Lee Chang-Hun
Published: February 2023

In this paper, a thrust integrated trajectory optimization algorithm for multipulse rocket missiles is proposed. Maximizing terminal velocity is selected as a performance index for achieving high maneuverability in the homing stage. To incorporate the optimization of thrust profile, thrust parameters are also considered as optimization variables with several thrust constraints such as impulse conservation and maximum/minimum thrust level. The original trajectory optimization problem is reformulated using new independent variables and timescale variables. This method simplifies the dynamics and makes the impulse conservation constraint disappear. Then, a control-affine system is established by defining the angle of attack and its square as new control inputs. The admissible input set is relaxed to a convex set, and mathematical proof is provided to show that the relaxation preserves the solution. The problem is discretized by applying a pseudospectral method for each subinterval. The solution is then obtained using sequential convex programming (SCP). A quadratic variable trust-region constraint is used for robust convergence of SCP. The proposed method robustly optimizes the thrust parameters and trajectory of the multipulse rocket missile within 1 s. Numerical simulation shows the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
Optimal Design Algorithms for Bare Electrodynamic Tethers in the Active Mode
Authors: Shahsavani Sadaf , Borderes Motta Gabriel , Sánchez-Arriaga Gonzalo
Published: February 2023

Two algorithms aimed at the optimal design of bare electrodynamic tethers in the active mode, including reboost and stationkeeping scenarios in low Earth orbit, are presented. By assuming a quasi-circular orbit evolution with constant environmental values at each altitude, the algorithms construct figures of merit as a function of the tether dimensions and the input power and look for their optimum values while satisfying other mission constraints like duration and safety. In the case of reboost scenarios, the figures of merit are the tether system-to-satellite mass ratio and the reboost time. Two separate subcases are studied: a nonautonomous tether system that receives power from the satellite, and an autonomous case where the power source is part of the tether system. Regarding stationkeeping scenarios, the design algorithm minimizes the tether system-to-satellite mass ratio while ensuring that the thrust provided by the Lorentz force compensates for the aerodynamic drag. A map of performances of the tether system in the altitude–inclination plane is presented. The optimal tether sizing and power obtained with the two algorithms were used as input to run simulations with the BETsMA Version 2.0 software. They confirmed that, although based on some simplifying hypotheses, the algorithms provide acceptable values of the design parameters in a preliminary design phase. The extension of the algorithms to bare-photovoltaic tethers and low work-function tethers is briefly discussed.
Null-Space-Excitation-Based Adaptive Control for an Overactuated Hexacopter Model
Authors: Li Hangxu , Myschik Stephan , Holzapfel Florian
Published: February 2023

This paper proposes a novel adaptive control structure featured by large closed-loop bandwidth and satisfactory parameter estimation results. The proposed baseline control structure is consisted of a velocity controller, an angular rate controller, and a pseudo-inverse-method-based control allocation module. For multirotor systems with immobile propellers, this structure is able to provide commands of pseudo inputs without redundancy. These commands will then be allocated through control allocation matrix possessing necessary elements. By using noncascaded velocity controller and considering actuator dynamics, the bandwidth of whole controller is broadened and a chance of estimating control effectiveness together with bandwidths of actuators appears. The null space excitation method is developed in this paper for assisting in parameter estimation, which will inject excitation signals in null space of control allocation matrix and therefore will not influence allocation results. This method is able to enlarge data information evaluated by Fisher information matrix. Hence, estimating parameters with these excitation signals is faster and more accurate than estimations in common methods. Designed null-space-excitation-based adaptive controller is validated on a complex high-fidelity hexacopter model and shows satisfactory performance in terms of control and parameter estimation.
Optical-Axis Spatial Sensitivity of a Simulated Focused Laser Differential Interferometer
Authors: Benitez Elizabeth K. , Borg Matthew P. , Rhodes Colin , Jewell Joseph S.
Published: February 2023

A focused laser differential interferometer (FLDI) simulation was used to study the sensitivity of the FLDI technique to a variety of factors. The model takes in a series of density fields and computes the FLDI beam phase difference in response to those fields. For pure sinusoidal signals of finite width, the frequency was found to have no effect on the computed FLDI response below the photodetector threshold. The signal wavelength, however, has a direct correlation with FLDI amplitude; peak amplitude was achieved with a wavelength of double the FLDI beam separation when measured at the focal points. The ability of the FLDI to suppress signals away from the foci of the beams was observed. Simulated narrow-nozzle jet results using a large-eddy simulation were compared to an experimental test with good agreement. The jet simulation was then used to study the effects of varying the beam separation and profile diameter on the FLDI sensitivity falloff, with smaller beam spacing and larger profiles away from the foci corresponding to shorter optical-axis sensitivity lengths.
Experimental Characterization of an Axisymmetric Transonic Separated Flow for Computational Fluid Dynamics Validation
Authors: Lynch Kyle P. , Lance Blake W. , Miller Nathan E. , Barone Matthew F. , Beresh Steven J.
Published: February 2023

An experimental characterization of transonic, turbulent, separated flow generated by an axisymmetric model is presented, with intent for use as a computational validation case. The model is a scaled version of a geometry inspired by Bachalo and Johnson (“Transonic, Turbulent Boundary-Layer Separation Generated on an Axisymmetric Flow Model,” AIAA Journal, Vol. 24, No. 3, 1986, pp. 437–442), consisting of a circular bump on a constant-diameter cylinder aligned with the flow. The Mach 0.875 flow is turbulent approaching the bump and becomes locally supersonic at the apex. This leads to a shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction, a separation bubble, and unsteady flow reattachment downstream. Tunnel boundary conditions are characterized, and mean surface pressure, mean skin friction, and both mean and fluctuating velocity fields are measured throughout the interaction region. Uncertainty estimates are provided for all measurements. The degree of flow axisymmetry and evidence of relaminarization are discussed, and a comparison is made to historical data.

Quantum chemical and microkinetic study of H2 dissociation on Cu4 cluster in the gas phase
Authors: Höltzl Tibor , Szalay Máté
Published: February 2023

Here we study the H2 dissociation mechanism on cationic and neutral Cu4 clusters using master equation based microkinetic modelling. Cationic cluster hinders the H2 dissociation compared to the neutral one. This can be explained by the electron donation to the H2 LUMO. The H2 dissocation is greatly influenced by the temperature, but Cu4 dissociate H2 already at mild conditions

A Preliminary Investigation into the Neural Correlates of Knee Loading during a Change of Direction Task in Individuals after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Authors: Culiver Adam , Grooms Dustin , Edwards Nathan , Schmitt Laura , Oñate James
Published: February 2023

Background

Central nervous system (CNS) function after ACLR, quantified by the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response, is altered in regions of sensory function during knee movement after ACLR. However, it is unknown how this altered neural response may manifest in knee loading and response to sensory perturbations during sport specific movements.

Purpose

To investigate the relationship among CNS function and lower extremity kinetics, under multiple visual conditions, during 180° change of direction task in individuals with a history of ACLR.

Methods

Eight participants, 39.3 ± 37.1 months after primary, left ACLR performed repetitive active knee flexion and extension of their involved knee during fMRI scanning. Participants separately performed 3D motion capture analysis of a 180° change of direction task under full vision (FV) and stroboscopic vision (SV) conditions. A neural correlate analysis was performed to associate BOLD signal to knee loading of the left lower extremity.

Results

Involved limb peak internal knee extension moment (pKEM) was significantly lower in the SV condition (1.89 ± 0.37 N*m/Kg) compared to the FV condition (2.0 ± 0.34 N*m/Kg) (p = .018). Involved limb pKEM during the SV condition was positively correlated with BOLD signal in the contralateral precuneus and superior parietal lobe (Voxels: 53; p = .017; z-stat max: 6.47; MNI peak: 6, -50, 66).

Conclusion

There is a positive association between involved limb pKEM in the SV condition and BOLD response in areas of visual-sensory integration. Activation of contralateral precuneus and superior parietal lobe brain regions may be a strategy to maintain joint loading when vision is perturbed.

A Clinically-Reasoned Approach to Manual Therapy in Sports Physical Therapy
Authors: Short Steven , Tuttle Matthew , Youngman Dillon
Published: February 2023

Symptom modification techniques have been recently dichotomously labeled as either passive or active therapies. Active therapy such as exercise has been rightfully advocated for while “passive” therapies, mainly manual therapy have been regarded as low value within the physical therapy treatment spectrum. In sporting environments where physical activity and exercise are inherent to the athletic experience, the utilization of exercise-only strategies to manage pain and injury can be challenging when considering the demands and qualities of a sporting career which include chronically high internal and external workloads. Participation may be impacted by pain and its influence on related factors such as training and competition performance, career length, financial earning potential, educational opportunity, social pressures, influence of family, friends, and other key stakeholders of their athletic activity. Though highly polarizing viewpoints regarding different therapies create black and white “sides,” a pragmatic gray area regarding manual therapy exists in which proper clinical reasoning can serve to improve athlete pain and injury management. This gray area includes both historic positive reported short-term outcomes and negative historical biomechanical underpinnings that have created unfounded dogma and inappropriate overutilization. Applying symptom modification strategies to safely allow the continuation of sport and exercise requires critical thinking utilizing not only the evidence-base, but also the multi-factorial nature of sports participation and pain management. Given the risks associated with pharmacological pain management, the cost of passive modalities like biophysical agents (electrical stimulation, photobiomodulation, ultrasound, etc), and the indications from the evidence-base when combined with active therapies, manual therapy can be a safe and effective treatment strategy to keep athletes active.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and Associated Sub-scales
Authors: Miley Emilie N. , Casanova Madeline P. , Cheatham Scott W. , Larkins Lindsay , Pickering Michael A. , Baker Russell T.
Published: February 2023

Background

Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), HOOS-Joint Replacement (JR), HOOS Physical Function (PS), and HOOS-12 item scale have been suggested as reliable and valid instruments for assessing hip disability. However, factorial validity, invariance across subgroups, and repeated measures of the scale across different populations have not been well supported in the literature.

Purpose

The primary study objectives were to: (1) assess model fit and psychometric properties of the original 40-item HOOS scale, (2) assess model fit of the HOOS-JR, (3) assess model fit of the HOOS-PS, and (4) assess model fit of the HOOS-12. A secondary objective was to perform multigroup invariance testing across physical activity level and hip pathology subgroups for models that met recommended fit indices.

Study Design

Cross-Sectional Study

Methods

Individual confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were conducted for the HOOS, HOOS-JR, HOOS-PS, and HOOS-12. Additionally, multigroup invariance testing (i.e., activity level, injury type) was conducted on the HOOS-JR and HOOS-PS.

Results

Model fit indices did not meet contemporary recommendations for the HOOS and the HOOS-12. Model fit indices for the HOOS-JR and the HOOS-PS met some, but not all, contemporary recommendations. Invariance criteria was met for the HOOS-JR and HOOS-PS.

Conclusion

The scale structure of the HOOS and HOOS-12 were not supported; however, preliminary evidence to support the scale structure of the HOOS-JR and HOOS-PS was found. Clinicians and researchers who utilize the scales should do so with caution due to their limitations and untested properties until further research establishes the full psychometric properties of these scales and recommendations for their continued use.
Effectiveness of Spinal Stabilization Exercises on Movement Performance in Adults with Chronic Low Back Pain
Authors: Alkhathami Khalid , Alshehre Yousef , Brizzolara Kelli , Weber Mark , Wang-Price Sharon
Published: February 2023

Introduction

Low back pain (LBP) is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects more than 80% of people in the United States at least once in their lifetime. LBP is one of the most common complaints prompting individuals to seek medical care. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of spinal stabilization exercises (SSEs) on movement performance, pain intensity, and disability level in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Methods

Forty participants, 20 in each group, with CLBP were recruited and randomly allocated into one of two interventions: SSEs and general exercises (GEs). All participants received their assigned intervention under supervision one to two times per week for the first four weeks and then were asked to continue their program at home for another four weeks. Outcome measures were collected at baseline, two weeks, four weeks, and eight weeks, including the Functional Movement ScreenTM (FMSTM), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OSW) scores.

Results

There was a significant interaction for the FMSTM scores (p = 0.016), but not for the NPRS and OSW scores. Post hoc analysis showed significant between-group differences between baseline and four weeks (p = 0.005) and between baseline and eight weeks (p = 0.026) favor SSEs over GEs. Further, the results demonstrated that all participants, regardless of group, had significant improvements in movement performance, pain intensity, and disability level over time.

Conclusion

The results of the study favor SSEs over GEs in improving movement performance for individuals with CLBP, specifically after four weeks of the supervised SSE program.
The Comparison of Psychological Barriers Between Individuals with a History of Anterior Knee Pain, Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, and Healthy Individuals
Authors: Zuk Emma F , Kim Sungwan , Burland Julie P , Glaviano Neal R
Published: February 2023

Background

Psychological barriers due to anterior knee pain (AKP) and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) may have a direct impact on an individual’s return to physical activity. A comprehensive understanding of these psychological barriers in individuals with AKP and ACLR may help clinicians to develop and implement better treatment strategies to address deficits that may exist in these individuals.

Hypothesis/Purpose

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate fear-avoidance, kinesiophobia, and pain catastrophizing in individuals with AKP and ACLR compared with healthy individuals. The secondary purpose was to directly compare psychological characteristics between the AKP and ACLR groups. It was hypothesized that 1) individuals with AKP and ACLR would self-report worse psychosocial function than healthy individuals and 2) the extent of the psychosocial impairments between the two knee pathologies would be similar.

Study Design

Cross-sectional study.

Methods

Eighty-three participants (28 AKP, 26 ACLR, and 29 healthy individuals) were analyzed in this study. Fear avoidance belief questionnaire (FABQ) with the physical activity (FABQ-PA) and sport (FABQ-S) subscales, Tampa scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) and pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) assessed psychological characteristics. Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare the FABQ-PA, FABQ-S, TSK-11, and PCS scores across the three groups. Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to determine where group differences occurred. Effect sizes (ES) were calculated with the Mann-Whitney U z-score divided by the square root of the sample size.

Results

Individuals with AKP or ACLR had significantly worse psychological barriers compared to the healthy individuals for all questionnaires (FABQ-PA, FABQ-S, TSK-11, and PCS) (p<0.001, ES>0.86). There were no differences between the AKP and ACLR groups (p≥0.67), with a medium ES (-0.33) in the FABQ-S between AKP and ACLR groups.

Conclusion

Greater psychological scores indicate impaired psychological readiness to perform physical activity. Clinicians should be aware of fear-related beliefs following knee-related injuries and are encouraged to measure psychological factors during the rehabilitation process.

Authors: Manske Robert , Podoll Katherine , Markowski Alycia , Watkins Maureen , Hayward Lorna , Maitland Murray
Published: February 2023

Objective

Ultrasound diagnostic imaging (USI) is widely utilized in sports medicine, orthopaedics, and rehabilitation. Its use in physical therapy clinical practice is increasing. This review summarizes published patient case reports describing USI in physical therapist practice.

Design

Comprehensive literature review.

Literature Search

PubMed was searched using the keywords “physical therapy” AND “ultrasound” AND “case report” AND “imaging”. In addition, citation indexes and specific journals were searched.

Study Selection Criteria

Papers were included if the patient was attending physical therapy, USI was necessary for patient management, the full text was retrievable, and the paper was written in English. Papers were excluded if USI was only used for interventions, such as biofeedback, or if the USI was incidental to physical therapy patient/client management.

Data Synthesis

Categories of data extracted included: 1) Patient presentation; 2) Setting; 3) Clinical indications; 4) Who performed USI; 5) Anatomical region; 6) Methods of USI; 7) Additional imaging; 8) Final diagnosis; and 9) Case outcome.

Results

Of the 172 papers reviewed for inclusion, 42 were evaluated. Most common anatomical regions scanned were the foot and lower leg (23%), thigh and knee (19%), shoulder and shoulder girdle (16%), lumbopelvic region (14%), and elbow/wrist and hand (12%). Fifty-eight percent of the cases were deemed static, while 14% reported using dynamic imaging. The most common indication for USI was a differential diagnosis list that included serious pathologies. Case studies often had more than one indication. Thirty-three cases (77%) resulted in confirmation of a diagnosis, while 29 case reports (67%) documented significant changes in physical therapy intervention strategies due to the USI, and 25 case reports (63%) resulted in referral.

Conclusion

This review of cases provides details on unique ways USI can be used during physical therapy patient care, including aspects that reflect the unique professional framework.
Adding A Structured Educational Session to the Rehabilitation Program of Soccer Players Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Feasibility Study
Authors: ALMUHAYA ABDULLAH , ALBARRATI ALI , ALHOWIMEL AHMED , ALODAIBI FARIS
Published: February 2023

Background

While a lack of psychological preparedness and fear of movement may be linked with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) re-injury, these variables are rarely addressed throughout the therapy stages via educational sessions. Unfortunately, in terms of reducing fear, increasing function, and returning to play, no research has been done yet on the efficacy of adding organized educational sessions to the rehabilitation programs of soccer players post-ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Therefore, the study’s aim was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of adding organized educational sessions to the rehabilitation programs post-ACLR.

Methods

A feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in a specialized sports rehabilitation center. Participants post ACL reconstruction were randomized to either usual care with a structured educational session (intervention group) or usual care alone (control group). This feasibility study investigated three aspects: recruitment, intervention acceptability and randomization, and retention. The outcome measures included Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia, ACL-Return to Sport after Injury, and International Knee Documentation Committee for knee function. Measurements were done at baseline and one week after the intervention.

Results

All of the 36 players who were undergoing rehabilitation post-ACLR at the center at the time of the study were invited to participate in the study. Thirty-five players (97.2%) agreed to participate in the study. The participants responded to some questions about the acceptability of the intervention and randomization and most of them thought they were appropriate. 30 (85.7%) participants completed the follow-up questionnaires one week after the randomization.

Conclusion

This feasibility research found that adding a structured educational session to the rehabilitation program for soccer players after ACLR is feasible and acceptable. Full-scale RCTs with longer follow-ups and multiple locations are recommended.
