this study aims to numerically investigate on the crashworthiness of thin-walled square tubes by consideration of 3-d oblique loading. in this type of loading, direction of loading is defined by using two spatial angles relative to the position of the tube. to this aim, finite element (fe) analysis is employed to simulate the loading for 8 different numerical models with different loading orien...

Approximately 75% of installed offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are supported by monopiles, a foundation whose design is dominated by lateral loading. Monopiles are typically designed using the p-y method which models soil-pile resistance using decoupled, nonlinear elastic Winkler springs. Because cyclic soil behavior is difficult to predict, the cyclic py method accounts for cyclic soil-pile inte...

Strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) are a novel class of fiber-reinforced concretes which exhibit high tensile strain capacity prior to failure localization. Although the behavior SHCC has been matter study in numerous research works, these under other loading modes scarcely investigated. The article at hand addresses mechanical two types normal-strength subject uniaxial tension, to...

The in vivo mouse tibial loading model is used to evaluate the effectiveness of mechanical treatment against skeletal diseases. Although studies have correlated bone adaptation with induced stimulus, predictions remodeling remained poor, and interaction between external physiological engendering changes not been determined. aim this study was determine effect passive on strain distribution tibi...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The objective of this study was to establish relative fixation strengths of proximal femoral nail (PFN), dynamic hip screw (DHS), monolateral external fixator (EF), and cannulated screw (CS) in basicervical hip fracture model. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved four groups of implanted composite proximal femoral synthetic bones of eight specimens per group; nailing wit...
