Abstract The work presents the results of an experimental study mechanical behavior polymer composite materials (PCM) subjected to sequential cyclic and quasi-static loads at normal temperatures. methodological features testing composites under complex influences are considered. tests for preliminary subsequent tension fiberglass specimens with different layouts given in fatigue sensitivity’s d...

Hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites comprised of glass and steel fibers in a resin matrix have been shown to increased strength energy dissipation compared conventional composites. However, methods for simulating the mechanical behavior combinations hybrid yet be advanced. In this study, non-hybrid with off-axis were manufactured extracted coupons subjected half-cyclic tensile testing. T...

the article introduces cyclic dilation groups and finite affine groups for prime integers, and  as an application of this theory it presents a unified group theoretical approach for the  cyclic wavelet transform (cwt) of prime dimensional periodic signals.

Malalignment of the tibial tray in total knee arthroplasty has been linked to several complications including tibial tray subsidence, leading to revision surgery. However, quantitative biomechanical evidence to directly support the mechanism of failure is not available. We developed a model to study tibial tray micromotion and subsidence in vitro under multiaxial physiological loading condition...

we present a 24-year-old female referred with non-healing wound of a few days duration on anterior aspect of her right foreleg. biopsy of the wound was reported to be pyoderma gangrenosum on pathologic report. further work up of the patient for high grade fever and occasional leukopenias revealed the diagnosis of cyclic neutropenia. treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) r...

BACKGROUND Cumulative trauma disorder is commonly reported by workers engaged in prolonged repetitive/cyclic occupational activities. Recent experimental evidence confirms that relatively short periods of cyclic lumbar flexion at high loads result in substantial creep of viscoelastic tissues, prolonged periods of its recovery to baseline together with a neuromuscular disorder and exposure to in...

AIM To determine how instrument design affects the fatigue life of two nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary systems (Mtwo and ProTaper) under cyclic fatigue stress in simulated root canals. METHODOLOGY Cyclic fatigue testing of instruments was performed in stainless steel artificial canals with radii of curvature of 2 or 5 mm and an angle of curvature of 60 degrees . A total of 260 instruments were...

Intention– Cyclic locomotive assignment planning is a specific type of organization of locomotive usage, and in fact, it means putting the complete workload to a closed chain, which is repeated periodically. The concept of cyclic locomotive assignment planning type organization in the area of train traction has proven in practice as the best one, but as it is made for in-advance defined timetab...
