Abstract This work investigates the potential of improving mechanical performance braided composite beams through introduction local braid angle variations. Tubular with a 45°/60°/45° length-wise (axial) variation were manufactured and tested in quasi-static three-point flexure their was compared having layer-wise (radial) [±60°/±45°/±45°] variation. Compared to uniform angles, axial tailoring ...

PURPOSE To investigate the test-retest variability of and factors associated with the corneal deformation response, and evaluate its impact on IOP measurement. METHODS Forty normal and 140 glaucoma suspect/glaucomatous eyes of 104 individuals were prospectively included for repeated measurements of corneal deformation response by an ultra-high-speed Scheimpflug camera, followed by corneal hys...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows one to analyze cartilage physiology in vivo. Cartilage deforms during loading, but little is known about its recovery after deformation. Here we study 'nocturnal' changes in knee cartilage thickness and whether postexercise deformation differs between morning and evening. Axial magnetic resonance (MR) images were acquired in the right knees of 17 healthy ...

We study flows of barotropic perfect fluid under the simultaneous action electromagnetic field and axial-vector potential, external conjugate to helicity. obtain deformation Euler equation by potential deformations various currents two fields. show that divergence vector axial are controlled chiral anomaly known in quantum theories with Dirac fermions. these results extending variational princi...

The Chadegan metamorphic complex is a WNW-ESE- trending antiformal structure located in Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone, Iran.The inner core of the structure is made of orthogneiss, containing eclogitic lenses. Schists and marbles lie structurally above theorthogneiss and crop out in the external limbs of the antiformal dome. Two main deformational episodes have been documented in theschists an...
