Eukaryotic cells are continuously subjected to mechanical forces under normal physiological conditions. These forces and associated cellular deformations induce a variety of biological processes. The degree of deformation depends on the mechanical properties of the cell. As most cells are anchorage dependent for normal functioning, it is important to study the mechanical properties of cells in ...

The shear strength of human trabecular bone may influence overall bone strength under fall loading conditions and failure at bone-implant interfaces. Here, we sought to compare shear and compressive yield strengths of human trabecular bone and elucidate the underlying failure mechanisms. We analyzed 54 specimens (5-mm cubes), all aligned with the main trabecular orientation and spanning four an...

Exfoliated monolayer graphene flakes were embedded in a polymer matrix and loaded under axial compression. By monitoring the shifts of the 2D Raman phonons of rectangular flakes of various sizes under load, the critical strain to failure was determined. Prior to loading care was taken for the examined area of the flake to be free of residual stresses. The critical strain values for first failur...

In recent years, several research activities have been conducted to develop knowledge in analysis, design and optimization of compressor anti-surge control system. Since the anti-surge control testing on a full-scale compressor is limited to possible consequences of failure, and also the experimental facility can be expensive to set up control strategies and logic, design process often involves...

Abstract The results of tests under monotonically increasing load and cyclic compression are often analysed by means probabilistic methods. Although there is a considerable scattering in the results, especially number cycles to failure, cause these cannot be completely explained. imperfections specimens tested among causes this mentioned literature. Based on round robin test influence HPC UHPC ...

BACKGROUND Several strategies to reduce construct stiffness have been proposed to promote secondary bone healing following fracture fixation with locked bridge plating constructs. However, stiffness reduction is typically gained at the cost of construct strength. In the present study, we tested whether a novel strategy for stiffness reduction, termed far cortical locking, can significantly redu...

INTRODUCTION The adequate use of compression in venous leg ulcer treatment is equally important to patients as well as clinicians. Currently, there is a lack of clarity on contraindications, risk factors, adverse events and complications, when applying compression therapy for venous leg ulcer patients. METHODS The project aimed to optimize prevention, treatment and maintenance approaches by r...

We describe the case of a man who presented with back pain and acute kidney injury and was found to have bilateral ureteral obstruction, which initially corrected with ureteral stents. Imaging studies showed thickening of the bladder. Shortly thereafter, he developed obstructive jaundice, pancreatitis, recurrence of renal failure, and was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer after a laparotom...

Energy evolution process of rock deformation is conducive to essentially reveal the failure mechanism and great significance uncover breeding dynamic disasters in engineering. To characterize damage energy dissipation during failure, digital image correlation (DIC) technique proposed describe mechanics its process. The uniaxial compression experiment sandstone specimen was carried out, whole fi...
