The formation of cracks in concrete structures occurs due to a multitude causes ranging from shrinkage external loading and environmental exposure. This phenomenon can significantly affect the lifecycle structures. Self-healing (SHC) is considered promoted innovation capable overcoming this inevitable occurrence. In accordance with current SHC development processes, paper utilizes numerical sim...

Concerns exist regarding using short stems during total hip arthroplasties performed in elderly patients. For this study, the authors assessed sequential bone remodeling findings in metaphyseal-loading short stems using serial radiography. A total of 100 consecutive primary THAs using short stems were performed in patients with an average age of 78.3 years. The presence and patterns of radioluc...

The use of compact specimens to determine the fracture toughness anisotropy Ti–6Al–4V additively manufactured for repair by directed energy deposition (DED) technique via thin was thoroughly investigated microstructure examination and test. One characteristic DED is due local heating build direction. were originally part an study where AM material added already existing mild heat treated wrough...

In this paper, a modified direct current potential drop (DCPD) method for real-time measurement of the length, inclination and position cracks is presented. Based on proposed configuration, it possible to process data acquired by continuously measuring change in electrical resistance (potential drop) between specific points specimen real time correlate them with propagation crack thus identifyi...
