  • Cardiovascular response to whole-body vibration on an automobile seat 
    Kat, Cor-Jacques; Jooste, Jacques Schalk; Grant, Catharina Cornelia; Becker, Piet J.; Els, Pieter Schalk (Taylor and Francis, 2021)
    The study aim was to determine whether a relationship exists between the cardiovascular response, measured by HR and HRV and the magnitude of whole-body vibration. Cardiovascular response of sixty male participants in four ...
  • Challenges of integrated vehicle chassis control : some findings of the European project Eve 
    Ivanov, Valentin; Savitski, Dzmitry; Augsburg, Klaus; Els, Pieter Schalk; Kat, Cor-Jacques; Botha, Theunis R.; Dhaens, Miguel; Sandu, Corina; He, Rui; McBride, Sterling; Alatorre Vazquez, Angel Gabriel; Victorino, Alessandro Correa (Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 2019)
    The development of high-performance mechatronic systems as well as the strong demand for environment-acceptable and safe intelligent technologies have had a profound impact on vehicle engineering. This impact has resulted ...
  • Difference thresholds for a vehicle on a 4-poster test rig 
    Grabe, Roland Peter; Kat, Cor-Jacques; Van Staden, Paul Jacobus; Els, Pieter Schalk (Elsevier, 2020-09)
    Improving vibration-induced discomfort often requires a reduction in the vibration experienced by vehicle occupants. Simulation software and test equipment are able to measure changes in vibration that are too small for ...
  • Methodology for developing a neural network leaf spring model 
    Kat, Cor-Jacques; Johrendt, Jennifer L.; Els, Pieter Schalk (Inderscience, 2017)
    This paper describes the development of a neural network that is able to emulate the vertical force-displacement behaviour of a leaf spring. Special emphasis is placed on aspects that affect the predictive capability of a ...
  • Single- versus double-row repair for full-thickness rotator cuff tears using suture anchors. A systematic review and meta-analysis of basic biomechanical studies 
    Hohmann, Erik; König, Anya; Kat, Cor-Jacques; Glatt, Vaida; Tetsworth, Kevin; Keough, Natalie (Springer, 2018)
    PURPOSE : The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing single- and double-row biomechanical studies to evaluate load to failure, mode of failure and gap formation. MATERIALS AND ...
  • Validation metric based on relative error 
    Kat, Cor-Jacques; Els, Pieter Schalk (Routledge, 2012)
    Engineers and scientists are often faced with the problem of objectively comparing time histories of measured and/or simulated data. This article presents a reliable and intuitive validation metric for use in the validation ...
