PURPOSE Suture anchors are used consistently for repairs of soft tissues, especially around the glenohumeral joint. These anchors can be used either arthroscopically or in an open procedure to anatomically restore the labrum and capsular tissues to the glenoid after avulsion injuries (Bankart lesion). The purpose of this study was to analyze the pullout strength of a new knotless suture anchor ...

Pullout tests on geogrids have been regarded as the most direct way to investigate geogrid–soil interaction. In pullout geogrids, either static or dynamic load is commonly used for applying vertical loads. order influence of and test results, are carried out analyze mechanical response soils under from large-scale tester. The results show that frequency amplitude significant effects load. inter...

in this paper, dissimilar resistance spot welding of aisi 1075 eutectoid steel to aisi 201 stainless steel is investigated experimentally. for this purpose, the experiments are designed using response surface methodology and based on four-factor, five-level central composite design. the effects of process parameters such as welding current, welding time, cooling time and electrode force are inv...

INTRODUCTION: Osteoporotic fracture is one of the commonest geriatric orthopaedic problems. The deterioration in microarchitecture and decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) in osteoporotic bone reduce its “holding power” to implants. Subsequently, osteoporotic fractures are difficult to be fixed and remain major challenge to surgeons (1). Intensive in vivo studies are necessary for testing the...

The subsea anchor piles of offshore wind power floating platform structures are mainly subjected to uplift and horizontal loads, this paper focuses on the case loads. A three-dimensional numerical simulation study pullout characteristics suction in clay layers was carried out reveal movement state during pile pullout, range depth at point where is achieved (referred as range), relationship betw...

This paper presents an investigation on the bond behavior of carbon fabric-cementitious matrix interface within fabric reinforced cementitious (FRCM) composite. The embedded yarn shows a complicated due to stochastic and incomplete impregnation can be subdivided into outer (impregnated) inner (non-impregnated) parts. Pullout tests were carried out FRCM composite aiming at examining effect betwe...

The toughness of composite materials is size dependent below a critical load transfer length (lT). Fiber-reinforced viscoelastic polymers are uniquely suited to study the size-limited regime because lT these soft composites can be as high several centimeters, in contrast traditional where extremely small, allowing large window for macroscale characterization. In this work, we elucidate paramete...
