Primary splenic flexure volvulus is a rare entity. We report an acute presentation of primary splenic flexure volvulus with gangrene in a 24-year-old man. Radiograph showed a massively-dilated large bowel loop with a coffee-bean sign. At emergency laparotomy, a distended and gangrenous splenic flexure was found, with absence of all three ligamentous attachments of the splenic flexure.

Two model piles with outer diameter D = 50 mm are loaded laterally at 100g in a large-beam geotechnical centrifuge. The normal strains on both the tensile and compressive sides measured using fibre Bragg gratings. An incremental method is introduced to define pivot point. testing analytical programme enables effect of embedding depth load eccentricity be quantified. key findings as follows. (a)...

based on two-dimensional plane stress and bifurcation functional from hill's general theory in polar coordinate the critical condition for elastic wrinkling of the flange of a circular blank ( the wave number in the flange and wrinkled area) during the deep-drawing process are obtained analyticaly to improve the previous given results. in this analytical study, the elastic limitation of the mat...

Current design codes and specifications allow for part of the bonded flexure tension reinforcement to be distributed over an effective flange width when T-beams' flanges are in tension. This study presents experimental numerical investigation on reinforced concrete flanged section's flexural behavior is laterally distributed. To achieve goals study, analysis using finite element method was cond...

Crucible is the indispensable vessel in smelting of superalloy, and service life crucibles quite important to development superalloy. In order extend crucible for superalloy smelting, alumina-based are prepared by slip casting, mullite fibers used as reinforcement phase. The effect on microstructure property was studied. appropriate content beneficial comprehensive performance crucibles. mechan...

1. Introduction. The main purpose of this address is to bring to the attention of the workers in the theory of elasticity and related branches of applied mathematics a simple general method of solution of several important classes of two-dimensional boundary value problems. I use the term "two-dimensional" or "plane" boundary value problems in the sense that their mathematical formulation requi...

Background and study aims  A 70-year-old-man underwent an esophagectomy and posterior mediastinal reconstruction for esophageal cancer that was curatively resected. Although the patient was allowed to eat after surgery, he repeatedly vomited after drinking water or eating meals and required continuous hospitalization. An upper gastrointestinal series and endoscopic examination revealed an obstr...

When the flange of a reinforced concrete spandrel beam is in tension, current design codes and specifications enable portion bonded flexure tension reinforcement to be distributed over an effective width. The flexural behavior RC L-shaped when laterally displaced investigated experimentally numerically this work. Numerical analysis utilizing finite element method performed on discretized flange...
