Objective- This study aimed at investigating the effects of hoof trimming on radiographic measurements of hoof balance in front hooves of Dareh-Shori horse.Design- Experimental studyAnimals- 10 apparently healthy Dareh-Shori horsesProcedure- After cleaning and washing the horses hooves, hand-made block placed under the following limb. Lateromedial radiographS were made to get ...

A New Stress Based Approach for Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

This article demonstrates a new approach for nonlinear finite element analysis. The methodology is very suitable and gives very accurate results in linear as well as in nonlinear range of the material behavior. Proposed methodology can be regarded as stress based finite element analysis as it is required to define the stress distribution within the structural body with structural idealization a...

No hoof, no horse! The clinical implications of modelling the hoof capsule.

Horses stand on the tips of their middle fingers and toes. In each forelimb, they bear their weight on an adapted fingernail which forms the hoof wall. This hoof wall is strongly attached to the last bone (third phalanx) which, in turn, is tied into the column of support in such a way that the complex locomotory forces received through the hoof capsule are directed up into the limb in alignment...

Investigation into the geometrical loop effect on tensile behavior of single bar warp-knitted fabric using finite element method

Modelling the catalyst fragmentation pattern in relation to molecular properties and particle overheating in olefin polymerization

A two-dimensional single particle finite element model was used to examine the effects of particle fragmental pattern on the average molecular weights, polymerization rate and particle overheating in heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta olefin polymerization. A two-site catalyst kinetic mechanism was employed together with a dynamic two-dimensional molecular species in diffusion-reaction equation. The i...
