absractall perilunate fracture-dislocations combine bone avulsions, ligament disruptionand fractures in different forms. the most frequent pattern is the dorsal transscaphoidperilunate fracture-dislocation. the reported risk of missed initial diagnosisin perilunate dislocations is as high as 20%. concerning pathomechanics of theperilunate fracture-dislocation, it should be noted that most dorsa...

introduction arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (amc) with incidence of 1 in 3000 of births is characterized by multiple rigid joint and soft-tissue contractures. case presentation we present a case of amc with severe soft tissue and joints contractures, especially joints of lower limb and elbows, bilateral complete dislocation of hips (cdh) and knees (cdk) (type iii), bilateral elbow joint dis...

Previous experimental measurements and linear stability analyses of curvilinear shearing flows of viscoelastic fluids have shown that the combination of streamwise curvature and elastic normal stresses can lead to flow destabilization. Torsional shear flows of highly elastic fluids with closed streamlines can also accumulate heat from viscous dissipation resulting in nonuniformity in the temper...

Abstract: In this paper we consider point control of a structural acoustic model with thermoelastic effects. The key feature of this paper is that the two-dimensional plate modeling the active wall of the acoustic chamber has clamped boundary conditions. For this case a new optimal regularity result has recently become available (Triggiani, 2008). Using this new result for the plate alone, we d...

12  Abstract— In the present paper, The normal mode analysis is used to study the deformation of a rotating generalized thermoelastic medium under the influence of gravity subjected to thermal loading in the context of dual-phase-lag thermoelastic model. The exact expressions for the temperature, displacement components, and stress components are given in the physical domain and illustrated gr...

The variability of thermoelastic stresses at the Earth’s surface is investigated on different scales with a three–dimensional numerical model. Energy transfer by heat conduction and radiation of sun, atmosphere and Earth’s surface is regarded. It is shown that thermoelastic stresses are considerably high, so that they are able to assist faulting and thus force weathering of rocks. Their morphol...

Photoacoustic (PA) signals of CsPbCl3 crystals have been examined in a wide temperature range of 150–300 K. The PA signals, induced by ns-pulsed laser excitation of electronic states and detected with a piezoelectric transducer, are thermoelastic ultrasonic waves lasting for hundreds of microseconds. The wavelet analysis of the PA wave has clarified that the thermoelastic wave includes several ...

The thermoelastic effect was used to produce high-frequency, broadband ultrasound in water. A pulsed diode laser, followed by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, was focused onto a light-absorbing film deposited on a glass substrate. Conversion efficiency was improved by over 20 dB using an elastomeric film instead of a more commonly used metallic one. Radiation pattern measurements show that cons...

Lp–Lq decay estimates of solutions to Cauchy problems of linear thermoelastic systems with second sound in three spatial variables are studied. By carefully analysis of the different effects of higher, middle and lower frequencies in phase space, the asymptotic behaviour of characteristic roots of coefficient matrices is obtained. Then, with the help of the information on characteristic roots a...

Fs laser nanosurgery is characterized by the formation of low-density plasma followed by chemical effects of the free electrons (bond breaking), thermal effects, and compressive and tensile thermoelastic stress waves that produce transient cavitation bubbles. Dissection using oscillator pulse trains at >> 1 MHz is usually performed at energies well below the bubble formation threshold and thus ...
