BACKGROUND Angle-stable locking plates have improved the surgical management of fractures. However, locking implants are costly and removal can be difficult. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the biomechanical performance of a newly proposed crossed-screw concept ("Fence") utilizing conventional (non-locked) implants in comparison to conventional LC-DCP (limited contact dynamic com...

Uncertainties regarding the axial cyclic behaviour of piles driven into sands led to an extended programme calibration chamber instrumented pile experiments. Broad trends are identified and interpreted with reference normalised loading parameters Q /Q T , mean N. Cyclic damage is shown be related changes in radial effective stress regime close shaft. While stable leads little or no change as cy...

The article presents the results of experiments on cyclic loading samples with an annular V-shaped notch and their mathematical modeling. tests were carried out specimens BrKh08-Sh alloy a change in tensile load from 0 to given value. Under such loading, material groove area is subjected elastoplastic deformation, which leads failure due low-cycle fatigue. When testing using digital image corre...

Present paper investigated the strain and damage sensing property on concrete cubes embedded with carbon fibers. Concrete cubes of dimension 150 mm have been casted with different concentration of carbon fibers to study the strain and damage sensing property under cyclic loading that can be further used for health monitoring as non-destructive testing (NDT) approach. All the specimens were test...

This paper was aimed at highlighting the impact of loading waveforms on cyclic liquefaction resistance sand. The test specimens were reclaimed by dry tamping method with Hostun 31 sand, and density sand matrix controlled to be 0.70. Three sets undrained triaxial tests performed altering as follows: triangular, sine rectangular waves. waveform experimentally observed axial stress applied. Under ...
