EFFECT OF TENSILE FORCE AND SHEAR FORCE ON BENDING STRENGTH AND STIFFNESS OF HIGH STRENGTH BOLTED TENSILE JOINTS

Experimental and FDM study on the effect of geogrid tensile strength on pullout resistance

This paper presents the effect of geogrid tensile strength by calculating pullout resistance and geogrid-soil interaction mechanism. In order to investigate this interface, a series of pullout tests have been conducted by large scale reformed direct shear test apparatus in both cohesive and granular soils. In numerical, finite difference software FLAC3D has been carried out on experimental test...

Effect of Densification on Tensile Strength and Stiffness Parallel to the Grain

Bacterial adherence to high--tensile strength sutures.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bacterial adherence to high--tensile strength suture materials using a bioluminescent in vitro model. METHODS Eleven strands each of No. 2 MaxBraid (Arthrotek [Biomet], Warsaw, IN), FiberWire (Arthrex, Naples, FL), Ethibond (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ), Orthocord (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA), and silk (Ethicon) sutures were immersed in a broth ...

Effect of thermal recycling of metal brackets on shear and tensile bond strength.

AIM The study was undertaken to measure the changes within the mesh pad associated with reconditioning process, measure the bond strength of new and reconditioned orthodontic brackets and correlate the changes in mesh strand diameter with changes in bond strength. MATERIAL AND METHODS 120 clinically normal premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons, were divided equally for bonding with...

Investigation on Tensile Strength of Friction Stir Welded Joints in PP/EPDM/Clay Nanocomposites

Polymer-based nanocomposites due to their advantages such as corrosion resistance,adequate mechanical properties and low cost are widely used in modern technologies. The increasing application of these nanocomposites, and hence their welding seems unavoidable. In this paper, a novel hottool in friction stir welding process is used for butt welding nanocomposite plates of 5 mm thick containing p...
