The ability to predict load-bearing capacity during the consolidation phase in distraction osteogenesis by non-invasive means would represent a significant advance in the management of patients undergoing such treatment. Measurements of stiffness have been suggested as a promising tool for this purpose. Although the multidimensional characteristics of bone loading in compression, bending and to...

Slender, load-bearing masonry walls with slenderness ratios (h/t) greater than 30 are required to be designed as pinned-pinned elements per North American provisions for masonry, CSA S304-14 (2019) and TMS 402-16 (2016). This provision neglects the contribution of reactive stiffness foundation strength wall its effect on redistribution bending moments along height. Eight full-scale built differ...

This paper describes the experimental characteristics of cantilever type journal bearings in reciprocating compressors for HFC-134a. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of bearing material, chemically treated shafts, bearing stiffness and refrigerant solubility in the oil to the characteristics of journal bearings lubricated with a mixture ofHFC-134a and lubricating oil As a res...

During bimanual load lifting, the brain must anticipate the effects of unloading upon the load-bearing arm. Little is currently known about the neural networks that coordinate these anticipatory postural adjustments. We measured neuromagnetic brain activity with whole-head magnetoencephalography while participants performed a bimanual load-lifting task. Anticipatory adjustments were associated ...

ABSTRACT: An attempt has been made to study and analyze the performance of a magnetic fluid based squeeze film in a rough porous parallel plate slider bearing. The bearing surfaces are considered to be transversely rough. The random roughness of the bearing surfaces is characterized by a stochastic random variable with non-zero mean, variance and skewness. A magnetic fluid is taken as the lubri...

Objective: To determine whether patients load the operated eg at a prescribed weight-bearing target load during postoprative recovery. Design: A descriptive prospective study. Setting: Orthopedic clinic and patients’ homes. Participants: Fifty patients who had undergone total hip rthroplasty (THA) with trochanteric osteotomy. Intervention: Patients were verbally instructed by a physial therapis...

Residual limb recovery after a transtibial amputation depends largely on close monitoring of the weight-bearing activities during the early postoperative stage. Although a biofeedback device, in particular audio biofeedback, was recommended to be used, no quantitative studies regarding its effectiveness in monitoring the weight-bearing activity of a person with amputation were available. In thi...

bearing capacity prediction of axially loaded piles is one of the most important problems in geotechnical engineering practices, with a wide variety range of methods which have been introduced to forecast it accurately. machine learning methods have been reported by many contemporary researches with some degree of success in modeling geotechnical phenomena. in this study, a fairly new machine l...

The history of the development Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) shear walls and current status today’s research as well future prospects are comprehensively collated. analysis process conclusive results present-day domestic international on UHPC highlighted. load displacement curves, hysteresis curves skeleton lines ultra-high performance concrete under different experimental loads collat...

The coal walls in a caving face with tall mining height are prone to rib spalling, which leads the phased cessation of working face, causes heavy losses, and endangers safety underground workers. In order prevent serious spalling accidents fully mechanized faces large improve prediction ability control load-bearing mechanical model roof–coal wall–support system was established based on moment-b...
