With most posterior cruciate (PCL) reconstruction techniques, the distal end of the graft is fixed within a tibial bone tunnel. Although a surgical goal is to locate this tunnel at the center of the PCL's tibial footprint, errors in medial-lateral tunnel placement of the tibial drill guide are possible because the position of the tip of the guide relative to the PCL's tibial footprint can be di...

Abstract At present, there is a problem of too much prestress loss in the construction multi-layer logistics warehouses China. To meet quality requirements project, this paper puts forward research on technology pretension prestressed reinforced concrete structure warehouse. The process can be effectively controlled by incorporating pre-tensioning into process, placing tendons, and tensioning o...

Cell-matrix adhesion depends on the collective behaviours of clusters of receptor-ligand bonds called focal contacts between cell and extracellular matrix. While the behaviour of a single molecular bond is governed by statistical mechanics at the molecular scale, continuum mechanics should be valid at a larger scale. This paper presents an overview of a series of recent theoretical studies aime...

the increasing world demand for fish cannot be met by capture fisheries. aquaculture production is increasing and nowadays cage culture has an important role in meeting the world’s fish demand. the design of the physical structure of a cage is determined by the oceanographic conditions of the culture site. each design is site-specific and knowledge of the topography, wind force and direction, p...

in this paper, we investigated the necessity and effects of optimal control methods in the stability and performance of a micro-grid that operates in islanded mode. the micro-gird is consisted of a combine heat and power (chp), a capacitor bank (cb), photovoltaic panel (pv) as power generation sources. in addition, battery and the building electricity and thermal load are placed on the load sid...

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied...

Abstract Aiming at the design and analysis of flexible film building rigid large complex structure system, this paper carried out simulation dynamic characteristics thin with concentrated mass. The structural connectors high stiffness relatively mass are simplified as is a biaxially tensioned cross material sample. influences pretension, quality, size on natural frequency samples analyzed. resu...
