A simple experimental scheme is described for the determination of the dynamic stress-strain relations for fresh aortic tissue within the range of strain rates up to 3.5 set-I. This is the first such work known to the authors in this dynamic range, and is considered a necessary step toward a quantitative study of traumatic rupture of the aorta. The results indicate a definite stiffening of the ...

torque, speed, and power as mechanical variables are associated with the functional performance of any rotating machinery. the real-time performance and the efficiency of a machine can be determined with on-line measurement of these parameters. in this investigation a rotary torque meter (transducer) was constructed from strain gauge sensors for measuring the torque of rotating shafts. the syst...

in this paper, the solution of a moving volterra-type screw dislocation in an orthotropic layer, bonded between two piezoelectric layers is obtained using complex fourier transform. the dislocation solution is then employed as strain nuclei to derive singular integral equations for a medium weakened by multiple moving cracks. these equations, which are classified as, cauchy singular equations, ...
