The general solution of the axial symmetry elastic space problem in cement concrete pavement is an elementary question. Combining Love method and Southwell method, operator was used variable selection process, displacement function introduced to express component by expression stress indicated obtained combining components, geometric equations, physical then substituted into equilibrium equatio...

introduction: it has been shown that joint click, an initial and common finding in internal derangement (id), respond to neither conservative treatment nor surgical intervention. this raises the question as to whether it must be treated in the absence of other pertinent signs and symptoms, so the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the mri findings of tmj in both normal subjects an...

abstract for seismic design, it is important to estimate the, maximum lateral displacement (inelastic displacement) of the structures due to earthquakes for several reasons. seismic design provisions estimate the maximum roof and storey drifts occurring in major earthquakes by amplifying the roof displacement and drifts of the structures obtained by elastic analysis subjected to seismic design ...

This paper uses SAP2000 finite element software to perform nonlinear time history analysis of nine structural systems, and compares the period, total floor displacement, base shear force, vertex top acceleration structure under action an 8-degree rare earthquake. The research results show that seismic isolation damping technology can effectively reduce impact earthquakes on structures.

computer model of the patellofemoral joint was developed and the effects on the anterior displacement of the tibial tuberosity were investigated. the input geometrical and verification data for the model were obtained form an experimental study on a cadaver knee, mounted in an instron machine. the computer program found the configuration of the patellofemoral joint which satified both the geome...

We demonstrate the use of a compound optical cavity as linear displacement detector, by measuring the thermal motion of a silicon nitride suspended membrane acting as the external mirror of a near-infrared Littrow laser diode. Fluctuations in the laser optical power induced by the membrane vibrations are collected by a photodiode integrated within the laser, and then measured with a spectrum an...

Suspensory fi xation devices in anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction commonly feature a button that rests on the cortex of the femur, and a loop that holds the graft in position until healing can occur. While this loop can be closed and fi xed in length, some contemporary designs feature a loop that is adjustable. The purpose of this study was to assess the displacement of t...

We present a novel method for acquisition, modeling, compression, and synthesis of realistic facial deformations using polynomial displacement maps. Our method consists of an analysis phase where the relationship between motion capture markers and detailed facial geometry is inferred, and a synthesis phase where novel detailed animated facial geometry is driven solely by a sparse set of motion ...
