Introduction: Simple fractures, potentially high-strain are classically treated through anatomical reconstruction and rigid fixation, using an open reduction approach. This study aimed to evaluate the bridge plating minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of simple tibial fractures. Our hypothesis was that fixation these fractures MIPO would result in early bone healing with low complica...

A catastrophe is a type of instability in a simple dynamic system whose unfolding (=evolution) is structurally stable. Examples of commonly experienced catastrophes are sudden changes in a real system, e.g. switches between two states in a buckling plate or the breakdown of stability as in a bridge which collapses. These physical models show the direction for more abstract models as in the case...

In order to study the flutter of long-span pedestrian suspension bridge and its aerodynamic control, a 420m-span is used as an engineering example, wind-induced vibration seven particular sections studied by wind tunnel tests, soft phenomenon two kinds identified. The results show that fairing wind-retaining plate measures are not necessarily effective improve stability bridge, these may reduce...
