The abnormal loading of skin and other surface tissues unaccustomed to bearing large mechanical forces occurs under many circumstances of chronic disease or disability. A result of abnormal loading is breakdown of the body wall tissues. An effective rehabilitation program avoids the pathological processes that result in skin trauma and breakdown and encourages load-tolerance and adaptation, cha...

in fact the most suitable method for finding the load bearing capacity of a member under the axial load or axial load and bending is make use of the interaction diagrams. to analysis and design the hollow circular, square and rectangular high strength concrete (hsc) column shapes, a linear strain variation was assumed in the cross-section height of the members and then the static equilibrium eq...

BACKGROUND Medial protrusio is a recognized complication of total hip arthroplasty, but it is not known if a medial wall breach during cup implantation increases the risk. We thus investigated the effect of up to a 2 cm defect in the medial acetabular wall in a cadaveric model. Separately, we investigated the ability of acetabular screws to rescue the construct. METHODS Nine human fresh-froze...

The paper expands the work by Kinnear and Weston[1] on squeeze film bearing design to the general case and compares the revised methodology with classical bearing design[2,3,4] and hybrid bearing design[5]. The analysis, which employs a partial differentiation of the Poisseuille and Hagen-Poiseuille bearing flow equations, enables a mathematical model for the bearing squeeze film to be develope...

Surface microtexturing has been widely used due to its good hydrophobic or drag reduction characteristics, and become an effective method improve product performance reduce energy consumption. This paper mainly discusses the improvement of microtextures on dynamic pressure characteristics hydrostatic bearings, explores effects texture parameters carrying capacity, macroscopic wall two-plane she...

The overall goal of this study is to gain an insight into the load sharing aspect between oriented strand board OSB and gypsum wall board GWB in shear wall assembly during racking load. Sixteen standard 2,440 2,440 mm walls were tested monotonically, in total, out of which 11 Type A were sheathed on both sides OSB on one side and GWB on the other , while five walls were tested without GWB Type ...

This paper develops an analytical method to calculate seismic bearing capacity of a strip footing, which is located on a slope reinforced with rows of pile. The resistance of passive pile is determined based on normal and shear stress of the soil around the pile, which is then compared to other analytical methods. This comparison indicates an acceptable agreement. The variants of the study incl...

Poroelastic materials are commonly found in biological systems, such as articulating cartilage, and the ability to predict their biphasic behaviour is a key step understanding of joint health development biomimetic devices. Here, fully coupled three dimensional finite element study presented demonstrate permeability dependent load carrying capacity fluid pressure time-varying poroelastic system...

Excessive usage of sand in construction industries has generated many environmental issues. Silica aerogel, is able to minimise issues while providing thermal resistance for building materials. aerogel properties such as lightweight, nano-porous and very low conductivity compared the mortar matrix. This paper studied compression flexural strengths with silica a replacement. Cement ratio 1:3 was...

concrete shear walls are the most prevalent structural systems resisting lateral loads due to earthquakes in high-rise buildings. very large in-plane stiffness of shear walls provides an excellent drift control in the structure. however, structural damages and early code shortcomings threaten the efficiency of existing structural walls against earthquake. recently, fiber reinforced polymer (frp...
