Development of a tissue-regenerative vascular graft: Structural and Mechanical Aspects by Sirry, Mazin Salaheldin

“…The reinforcement enhanced the mechanical performance of the graft without affecting its tissue-regenerating characteristics, as the predicted maximum wall compression indicated that the reduction in size of pore windows would still allow ingrowth of capillaries and arterioles.…”

The use of recovery modalities by endurance runners by Lemke, Hanette

“…Demographic factors such as gender, age, level of education and monthly income predicted the use of carbohydrates, protein, massage, anti-inflammatory medication, active recovery and compression. Training factors associated with more experience (for example number of marathons) predicted the use of vitamins and minerals, anti-inflammatory medication, active recovery and compression. …”

Microchannel flow fields for polymer electrolyte fuel cells by Chivengwa, Tapiwa

“…Fuel cell testing of two different flow field designs, namely a microchannel design and a more conventional commercial minichannel design, was performed in a single cell set up. Two operating conditions, cathode flow rate and cell compression, were varied and the effect on overall fuel cell performance and limiting current was investigated. …”

Characterisation of Glass Fibre Polypropylene and GFPP based Fibre Metal Laminates at high strain rates by Govender, Reuben Ashley

“…High strain rate (5x10^2 to 10^3 /s) compression tests were conducted on GFPP using a compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and a Direct Impact Hopkinson Pressure Bar (DIHPB), in the through-thickness and in-plane directions. …”

The cricketing shoulder: biomechanics and analysis of potential injury risk factors to the shoulder in elite cricketers by Dutton, Megan Charmaine

“…In addition, increased shoulder compression (p=0.02) and posterior force (p=0.009) occur at MER, while reduced superior shoulder force (p=0.005) and elbow compression (p=0.03), superior (p=0.002) and medial (p=0.03) forces occur at ball release (BR), when throwing dynamically versus statically. …”
