methods we handed out questionnaires to 80 female soccer players with a history of acl injury (90 acl injuries). the players were asked about the injury characteristics, injury circumstance, maneuver being performed when the injury occurred, and playing type associated with the injury. the players responded to the questionnaire under the guidance of the medical staff of each team. results the 8...

Micro-forming with ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials is a promising direction for the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) components due to the improved formability, good surface quality, and excellent mechanical properties it provides. In this paper, micro-compression tests were performed using UFG pure aluminum processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) with subsequ...

-A detailed experimental evaluation of mathematical models for densification during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) has been conducted using high purity copper powder as a model system. Using a new eddy current sensor, the density of cylindrical compacts has been measured/n situ and compared with model predictions for the HIP process. Pressure shielding by the can has been found to influence the d...

One of the most popular forming processes is the shape rolling process in which the desired shape change is achieved by pressing two rollers with a special shape in the opposite rotational direction. In order to improve the product’s quality and reduce production costs, accurate analysis of the shape rolling process of the compressor blades as well as the investigation of the effective paramete...

Using intermediate, liquid-forming compositions in the approach focuses on the Si3N4–R2O3 binary, where R2O3 is any (Y,La)2O3–AlN system as additives, fully dense Si3N4 ceramrare-earth oxide (or Y2O3) used singly or severally. After sinics with high strength at high temperature have been tering, this composition forms -Si3N4 and some refractory rareobtained by pressureless sintering. The cerami...
