Within the framework of the linear theory of elasticity, the analytical equations for the components of the stress tensor for а plane with а circular inclusion under tensile loading have been derived using the method of superposition. The given approach allows one to describe the plane-stress state of the plane both for the case of rigid and "soft" inclusions. The obtained solutions have been c...

BACKGROUND Following anterior cruciate ligament injury and subsequent reconstruction transverse plane tibiofemoral rotation becomes underconstrained and overconstrained, respectively. Conflicting reports exist on how rotations influence loading at the knee. This investigation aimed to determine the mechanical effects of internal and external tibial rotation offsets on knee kinematics and ligame...

In this in vitro study, 2 implants were embedded in the interforaminal region of an acrylic model. Two kinds of retention mechanisms were used to construct complete overdentures: ball type and direct abutment (Locator). The ball-type retention mechanism models included 3 different collar heights (1, 2, and 3 mm) with 15 mm occlusal plane height, and 3 different occlusal plane heights (9, 12, an...

With the explosion in the use of the Internet for ebusiness, entertainment, and wireless communication, Internet control and routing infrastructure are facing limitations in terms of the increasing scale. Because the Internet is now mission-critical to many industries, providing high availability (HA) is a major concern. In this paper, we discuss the scaling limitations of the routing and signa...

Unreinforced masonry walls are prone to failure when subjected out-of-plane loading. This is due their low performance in bending, and often the lack of appropriate connection returning floors. paper investigates possibility use oriented strand boards (OSB) panels improve brick walls. The proposed technique considers securing OSB type-3 behind with chemical mechanical connections. work presents...

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of loading direction on the structural response of the human clavicle subjected to three-point bending. A total of 20 clavicles were obtained from 10 unembalmed fresh-frozen postmortem human subjects ranging from 45 to 92 years of age. The right and left clavicles from each subject were randomly divided into two test groups. One group was...
