Purpose To use finite element (FE) analysis to predict the optic nerve sheath traction forces that act on the optic nerve head (ONH) following horizontal eye movements, and the resulting stress levels in the peripapillary connective tissues of the ONH (Bruch's membrane [BM] and sclera). Methods An FE model of a healthy eye was reconstructed in primary gaze position that included details from ...

Introduction: A majority of the mountains on Io are tectonic, upthrusted blocks [1-8]. The mechanism behind their formation, however, is unknown. Mountain formation may be indirectly related to the prolific volcanism on Io [3]. Three major mountain formation hypotheses following from this idea include: • convection-modified subsidence: global compressional stresses (subsidence) are created by t...

Introduction: Impact basins are among the most striking structures on planetary surfaces. Impacts excavate substantial amounts of crustal material, resulting in lateral and upward displacement of both crustal and mantle material. This movement, along with magma emplacement, can result in loading of the surrounding lithosphere, with implications for the stress state. Stresses, in turn, influence...

Axial fully-reversed strain-controlled ([Formula: see text]) fatigue experiments were performed to obtain data demonstrating the effects of building orientation (i.e. vertical versus horizontal) and heat treatment on the fatigue behavior of 17-4 PH stainless steel (SS) fabricated via Selective Laser Melting (SLM) (Yadollahi et al., submitted for publication [1]). This data article provides deta...

The objective of this study is to introduce a modified incremental technique that leads to improved marginal adaptation and to develop a mathematical model that explains the results obtained. The technique proposed is a two-step incremental technique that reduces volume of a resin that is polymerized at each step and eliminates the central point in resin, so that the stresses are additionally r...

Trabecular bone structure may complement bone volume/total volume fraction (BV/TV) in the prediction of the mechanical properties. Nonetheless, the direct in vivo use of information pertaining to trabecular bone structure necessitates some predictive analytical model linking structure measures to mechanical properties. In this context, the purpose of this study was to combine BV/TV and topologi...

Direct numerical simulations are performed of turbulent planar Couette flow which are seeded with two-way coupled particles at low volume concentration. Based on an understanding of the development of particle stress (horizontal momentum carried vertically on average by the particle phase) in monodisperse systems at various particle Stokes numbers, several bidisperse and continuously polydisper...

The present paper is aimed at studying the effect of gravity on the general model of the equations of the generalized thermomicrostretch for a homogeneous isotropic elastic half-space solid whose surface is subjected to a Mode-I crack problem. The problem is in the context of the Green and Naghdi theory (GN). The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions for the displacement ...
