Nowadays, due to high ratio of strength to weight, composite cylindrical shells are extensively used in a great variety of different industrial applications and under different cases of loads. In this study, the buckling of composite cylindrical shells was examined under uniform external pressure. The buckling analysis of composite cylindrical shells was first done by using theoretical relation...

The use of laminate composites in structures is under a considerable increase. The advantages of their use are related with a considerable weight reduction and consequent improvement of dynamic characteristics, in the case of aeronautics, automobile, railway and naval industries. Some applications of these materials in sports are already well known, like cycling, motor sports or golf, just to m...

Cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) delaminate from embryonic neural folds and migrate to pharyngeal arches, which give rise to most mid-facial structures. CNCC dysfunction plays a prominent role in the etiology of orofacial clefts, a frequent birth malformation. Heterozygous mutations in SPECC1L have been identified in patients with atypical and syndromic clefts. Here, we report that in SPECC1L...

The potential of thermal nonlinear effects in composite materials was investigated for nondestructive testing. Second harmonic generation in thermal-wave fields has attracted much attention in recent years for the non-destructive evaluation of solid structures. Even though not the only source, the presence of a defect can result in a strong nonlinear signature, which could enhance the detectabi...

BACKGROUND Although autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is a well-established therapy for the treatment of isolated cartilage defects of the knee joint, little is known about typical complications and their treatment after ACI. HYPOTHESIS Unsatisfactory outcome after ACI is associated with technique-related typical complications. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHO...

Channeling cracks in brittle thin films have been observed to be a key reliability issue for advanced interconnects and other integrated structures. Most theoretical studies to date have assumed no delamination at the interface, while experiments have observed channel cracks both with and without interfacial delamination. This paper analyzes the effect of interfacial delamination on the fractur...
