A new method to study free transverse vibration of the human lumbar spine as segmental multi-layer Timoshenko and Euler–Bernoulli beams
The aim of this study is to propose a method for studying the free transverse vibration of the human lumbar spine using Timoshenko and Euler–Bernoulli beam theories. The cross section of the lumber spine is assumed to be uniform, and the material properties are different for the vertebral bodies, endplates, and intervertebral discs. To derive equations with biomedical approach, they were developed with n segments of the lumbar spine including vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and endplates.
Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering is a peer-reviewed, international and interdisciplinary journal that provides a forum for cross-disciplinary research contributions covering a broad spectrum of issues pertaining to the mechanical and machining properties of materials as well as materials science, and how they apply to materials used in equipment and structures.
Article Processing Charges (APCs)
Open access publishing is not without costs. International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering therefore levies an article-processing charge of £905.00/$1420.00/€1155.00 for each article accepted for publication.
For further details, see our article-processing charge page.
APC Paying Options
Option 1: Author self-paying APC
The authors will pay the full charge of APC of their manuscript (EUR 800 per paper). Self-paying authors will do so through Editorial Manager.
Option 2: SpringerOpen Fee Waiver request
Authors from low income countries or from SpringerOpen Membership institutions will be able to separately request waivers or discounts in Editorial Manager. Article-processing charge waivers or discounts can also be granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds.
Benefit from our free funding service
We offer a free open access support service to make it easier for you to discover and apply for article-processing charge (APC) funding.
