PURPOSE Passive fit of implant-supported restorations is difficult to achieve. The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to test the null hypotheses that a reduction in misfit strain does not occur over time, regardless of the initial strain level, and that changes in prosthesis-induced bone strain do not differ between restorations with two different levels of fit. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

We present a rapid low-cost process for fabrication of screen-printed carbon thick-film strain sensors with 0.012% strain resolution. The sensors are suitable for implantation and designed specifically for strain or fullness measurements of the skin and bladder, respectively. Thick-film carbon paste sensors are screen-printed using an etched brass screen onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and enc...

This report details a methodology for the permanent attachment of fibre optic strain gauge (Bragg grating) arrays to the surface of a composite hydrofoil and reports on an experiment to measure surface strains from the hydrofoil under static and fatigue loading conditions. The strain data from the optical gauges is compared to measurements from electrical resistance strain gauges nearby and to ...

The collapse of Landau levels under an electric field perpendicular to the magnetic is one distinctive features Dirac materials. So coupling lattice deformations electronic degrees freedom in form gauge fields, which allows formation pseudo-Landau from strain. We analyze induced by strain on realistic Weyl semimetals hosting anisotropic, tilted cones momentum space. perform first-principles cal...
