It would be safe to assume that the integrity of a full coverage restoration is directly related to its marginal fit. Complete, unimpaired seating of a full coverage restoration can be significantly affected by hydraulic pressure from the cement. Hydraulic pressure, created by seating a restoration, especially a well-fitting one, can result in a final marginal gap that is clinically unacceptabl...

When tree stems are mechanically stimulated, a rapid long-distance signal is induced that slows down primary growth. An investigation was carried out to determine whether the signal might be borne by a mechanically induced pressure pulse in the xylem. Coupling xylem flow meters and pressure sensors with a mechanical testing device, the hydraulic effects of mechanical deformation of tree stem an...

The speed and torque of the hydraulic motor is controlled by controlling the hydraulic valve pump connected to the hydraulic motor. An electro hydraulic valve coupled to a hydraulic motor is a common method of motor speed control in practice where both load pressure and speed change during operation. In this paper, system equations that include, flow and toque loss term has been established by ...

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 ...

Hydraulic fracturing is an important method of reservoir stimulation in the exploitation of geothermal resources, and conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources. In this article, hydraulic fracturing experiments with shale, sandstone cores (from southern Sichuan Basin), and granite cores (from Inner Mongolia) were conducted to investigate the different hydraulic fracture extension pa...

The energy density of conventional hydraulic accumulators is significantly lower than competing energy domains. In this paper, a novel solution to improve the energy density of hydraulic energy storage, the flywheel-accumulator, is presented. The flywheelaccumulator integrates rotating kinetic and pneumatic energy storage, where the hydraulic fluid is used to change the mass moment of inertia o...

The present study was designed to analyze quantitatively the effects of a wide range of endothelin-1 levels on renal hemodynamics and renin release in the canine nonfiltering kidney, including their effects on glomerular hydraulic pressure. Intrarenal infusion of endothelin-1 produced dose-dependent reductions in renal blood flow, but it did not affect glomerular hydraulic pressure until the in...

The evaluation of hydraulic constants is generally one of the main components of reservoir engineering projects such as the development of radioactive waste disposal sites or the construction of underground CO2 storage. In the example presented here, flow pump experiments were conducted for the Horonobe mudstone to evaluate specific storage and hydraulic conductivity. The flow pump experiments ...

The unsaturated soil hydraulic properties are often described using Mualem–van Genuchten (MVG) type analytical functions. Recent studies suggest several shortcomings of these functions near saturation, notably the lack of second-order continuity of the soil water retention function at saturation and the inability of the hydraulic conductivity function to account for macroporosity. We present a ...

Cartilage is considered a biphasic material in which the solid is composed of proteoglycans and collagen. In biphasic tissue, the hydraulic pressure is believed to bear most of the load under higher strain rates and its dissipation due to fluid flow determines creep and relaxation behavior. In equilibrium, hydraulic pressure is zero and load bearing is transferred to the solid matrix. The visco...
