A short-term flow, kind of softening of soil during cyclic loading, makes a perceivable impact on strain progression in saturated soil during cyclic loading. A short-term flow developed during cyclic mobility of soil can be seen from the stress-strain relationship observed during cyclic triaxial tests. After few cycles of loading soil starts to exhibit very low stiffness at the beginning of a l...

BACKGROUND The epidemiology identifies cyclic lumbar loading as a risk factor for cumulative trauma disorder. Experimental biomechanical and physiological confirmation is lacking. The objective of this study was to asses the impact of different rest durations applied between periods of cyclic loading on the development of an acute lumbar disorder which, if continued to be subjected to loading, ...

statement of the problem : tooth restorations are exposed to stresses which produce marginal gaps resulting in microleakage. purpose in this study, microleakage of light-cured glass-ionomer and compomer class v restorations was evaluted and compared under cyclic loading materials and methods in this exprimental study, class v cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces of maxillary premolars ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyclic loading and screw retightening on reverse torque value (RTV) in external and internal type implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cement-retained abutments were connected with 30 Ncm torque to external and internal type implants. Experimental groups were classified according to implant connection type and retightening/loading protoco...

Age-related decline in periosteal adaptation negatively impacts the ability to utilize exercise to enhance bone mass and strength in the elderly. We recently observed that in senescent animals subject to cyclically applied loading, supplementation with Cyclosporin A (CsA) substantially enhanced the periosteal bone formation rates to levels observed in young animals. We therefore speculated that...

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of cyclic compressive loading on chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in agarose cultures. Rabbit BM-MSCs were obtained from the tibias and femurs of New Zealand white rabbits. After the chondrogenic potential of BM-MSCs was verified by pellet cultures, cell-agarose constructs were made by susp...

In this study, dynamic bearing capacity of adjacent shallow strip foundations located on sandy soil was examined using a numerical finite difference modeling, FLAC. The behavioral interference of shallow strip foundations under different conditions was investigated. The effect of soil strength parameters, geometric characteristics of shallow foundations and cyclic loads at different distance ra...
