BACKGROUND Lateral column tibial plateau fracture fixation with a locking screw plate has higher mechanical stability than other fixation methods. The objectives of the present study were to introduce two newly designed locking anatomic plates for lateral tibial plateau fracture and to demonstrate their characteristics of the fixation complexes under the axial loads. METHODS Three different 3...

in this work, time domain analysis is used to solve adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked lc and ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. then, the analysis is verified...

We discuss three forms of phantom prevention locking that have been proposed in the literature: (1) predicate locking [EGLT76], (2) precision locking [JBB81], and (3) index locking (specifically, KVL/IM locking [MOHAN90, MOHAN92, MOHAN96]). The predicate locking method was dropped from consideration in System R because of perceived problems [CHETAL81]. The precision locking technique was propos...

The curved-beam finite element formulation by trigonometric function for curvature is presented. Instead of displacement function, trigonometric function is introduced for curvature to avoid the shear and membrane locking phenomena. Element formulation is carried out in polar coordinates. The element with three nodal parameters is chosen on curvature. Then, curvature field in the element is int...

Composite laminates are prone to delamination. Implementation of delamination in the Carrera Unified Formulation frame work using nine noded quadrilateral MITC9 element is discussed in this article. MITC9 element is devoid of shear locking and membrane locking. Delaminated as well as healthy structure is analysed for free mode vibration. The results from the present work are compared with the a...

On the afternoon of 28 June 2010, an enormous landslide occurred in the Gangwu region of Guanling County, Guizhou Province. In order to better understand the mechanism of the Guanling landslide, archived ALOS/PALSAR data was used to acquire the deformation prior to the landslide occurrence through stacking and time-series InSAR techniques. First, the deformation structure from InSAR was compare...

conclusions the use of variable-angle locking plates in treating unstable distal end radius fractures is associated with excellent to good functional outcomes with minimal complications. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes in unstable distal end radius fractures treated with variable-angle locking plates. patients and methods we reviewed 23 unstable ...

Abstract. The first-order shear deformable laminated beam problem is reformulated in terms of a fictitious bending displacement as primal variable. A fourth-order differential equation governs the with two additional unknown constants coming from integration longitudinal displacement. With classical six boundary conditions, complete and well posed. An isogeometric collocation scheme developed t...

This study analyzes microphysical signatures relevant to the short-cycle lightning activity in inner core of Typhoon Hato (2017) before landfall China. Observations reveal that bursts were accompanied by enhanced inner-core convection with a behavior cycle about 3 hr. The coupling between wavenumber-2 vortex Rossby waves (VRWs) and shear-forced convective asymmetries resulted local updraft enha...

A novel approach for solving the stiffened shell structures by using an edge-based smoothed MITC3 finite element method (ES-MITC3) is presented in this paper. The ES-MITC3 efficient combining (ES-FEM) with original triangular to not only significantly improve accuracy but also overcome shear-locking phenomenon Reissner–Mindlin analysis. In study, applied and then reinforced stiffeners based on ...
