Mathematical Modelling of Biomechanical Interactions between Backpack and Bearer during Load Carriage

This paper proposes a three-dimensional mathematical model of the biomechanical interactions between backpack and bearer during load carriage. The model considers both the coupled pack motions, which follow the torso, and also the longitudinal compliance and damping in the backpack suspension. The p...
