Torsion of elastic and poroelastic circular shaft of radially inhomogeneous, cylindrically orthotropic materials is studied with emphasis on the end effects example for extruder. To examine the conjecture of Saint-Venant’s torsion, we consider torsion of circular shaft with one end fixed and the other end free on which tractions that results in a pure torque are prescribed arbitrarily over the fr...

This work deals with the interaction of P-waves between a moving central crack and a pair of outer cracks situated at the interface of an orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. Initially, we considered a two-dimensional elastic wave equation in orthotropic medium. The Fourier transform has been applied to convert the basic problem to solve the set of four integral equations. These set of ...

The present work introduces a novel methodology to analyse non-uniform residual stresses in composite materials. For robust determination of complex structures made different layers, it is first necessary prove that stress analysis single layer structure can reliably be accomplished. In unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced epoxy investigated. determination, the integral incremental hole drill...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to explore the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum on tumor proliferation and metastasis in an orthotropic xenograft nude mice model of human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and evaluate the safety of CO2 pneumoperitoneum laparoscopy for treating RCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS RCC 786-0 cells were injected to establish an orthotropic xenograft model. Fifty nude...

Recent morphological studies have demonstrated a laminar (sheet) organization of ventricular myofibers. Multiaxial measurements of orthotropic myocardial constitutive properties have not been reported, but regional distributions of three-dimensional diastolic and systolic strains relative to fiber and sheet axes have recently been measured in the dog heart by Takayama et al. [30]. A three-dimen...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of the use of the SIP score and the quality of life impairment in patients with ileal conduit and orthotropic ileal derivations by Hautmann and AbolEnein/Ghoneim. METHODS Prospectively evaluated 146 patients in different age groups. In 66 patients ileal conduit derivation was performed, in 20 patients orthotropic derivation using Hautman technique was ...

This paper is concerned with an investigation into the existence of waves propagating along a free edge of an orthotropic plate, where the edge is inclined at arbitrary angle to a principal direction of the material. After deriving the governing equation and edge conditions, an edge wave ansatz is substituted into this system to reduce it to a set of algebraic equations for the edge wave wave n...

Punching experiments on wide honeycomb sandwich beams were performed to evaluate the predictive capabilities of a newly developed constitutive model in structural applications. The employed constitutive model for plastically com-pressible orthotropic materials accounts for both non-uniform hardening and softening associated with stressing in different directions. This feature is vital when asse...

The mechanical behavior of soft tissue demonstrates a number of complex features including nonlinearity, anisotropy, viscoelasticity, and growth. Characteristic features of the time-dependent and anisotropic behavior are related to the properties of various components of the tissue such as fibrous collagen and elastin networks, large proteins and sugars attached to these networks, and interstit...
