Isostasy explains why observed gravity anomalies are generally much weaker than what is expected from topography alone, and planetary crusts can support high without breaking up. Classical isostasy, however, neglects internal stresses geoid contributions to topographical support, yields ambiguous predictions of anomalies. should instead be defined either by minimizing deviatoric elastic within ...

The truth regarding ventricular equilibrium and diastolic suction has been elusive since Galen (26) observed blood moving into the ventricle with a force “vis a fronte.” The continued debate (29) justifies that we readdress the conceptual (i.e., kinematic) basis of ventricular equilibrium and diastolic suction. Equilibrium at diastasis. We propose a physiologically intuitive, functional equilib...

Using ab initio alloy theory, we investigate the equilibrium bulk properties and elastic mechanics of the single bcc solid-solution AlxHf1−xNbTaTiZr (x = 0–0.7, 1.0) high entropy alloys. Ab initio predicted equilibrium volume is consistent with the available experiment. We make a detailed investigation of the alloying effect of Al and Hf on the equilibrium volume, elastic constants and polycrys...

This article provides a fully analytical approach for nonlinear equilibrium path of rectangular sandwich plates. The core of structure is made of symmetric cross-ply laminated composite and the outer surfaces are piezoelectric actuators which perfectly bonded to inner core. The structure is subjected to electro-thermo-mechanical loads simultaneously. One side of plate is rested on Pasternak typ...

background and objectives : examination of cartilage repair in animal work is dependent upon the thickness and radius of the induced impalement.  full-thickness defects with a radius of 3 mm have been commonly used in animal studies to evaluate new procedures designed to improve the quality of articular cartilage repair. the aim of the present study was to define the biomechanical characteristi...
