OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of varying numbers of layers of plaster of Paris bandages on the mechanical properties of specimens used on the construction of orthopedic splints. METHODS Rectangular plate-shaped and cylinder-shaped specimens were constructed and assigned to two groups simulating plaster slabs and cast and further divided into six subgroups according to the number of layers...

Tendon exhibits nonlinear stress-strain behavior that may be partly due to movement of collagen fibers through the extracellular matrix. While a few techniques have been developed to evaluate the fiber architecture of other soft tissues, the organizational behavior of tendon under load has not been determined. The supraspinatus tendon (SST) of the rotator cuff is of particular interest for inve...

Objective: To evaluate the effects of varying numbers of layers of plaster of Paris bandages on the mechanical properties of specimens used on the construction of orthopedic splints.

This paper deals with the design of a hydraulicmechanical load-sensing system using computer modelling and simulation in an object-oriented programming environment. As initial, the scheme of a hydraulic-mechanical load-sensing system of Bosch GMbH has been taken. A modified scheme of the system is proposed. The object-oriented mathematical model of the system is composed. The approach is based ...

Abstract In large-scale multi-section hydraulic fracturing, the stress environment of wellbore is extreme complex, often causing unbalanced distribution around wellbore. That poses great challenges to integrity sheath. this paper, firstly, triaxial compression test and cyclic are carried out at 130 °C study deformation characteristics cement under high temperature. Then based on that, an approp...
