BACKGROUND Current surgical treatments in Peyronie's disease are accompanied by complications such as penile shortening, loss of sensation, erectile dysfunction and recurrence of disease. The aim of this study was the evaluation of clinical results of intracavernosal plaque excision in Peyronie's disease. METHODS The operation was performed on 35 men. It was consisted of incising the t...

It is well understood that the buckling response of steel members can be significantly affected by their initial geometric imperfections. Therefore, it paramount importance these imperfections are accurately measured and subsequently accounted for when studying behaviour members. This paper discusses design, development calibration an imperfection measuring rig. The set-up makes use a laser dis...

production and preparation of many parts of the aircraft body including wings with long length, smooth form, and large radius of curvature are amongst the most important challenges in this industry. in this paper, the effective factors in the rubber pad forming method on a pieces contain curvature radius have been investigated by finite element method. the effect of variables such as curvature ...

Geometric imperfections such as radial imperfection, diamond shape, and local dimples could affect the buckling mode and load carrying capacity of axially compressed steel tubular columns. This paper experimentally investigates the effect of radial imperfection on the load carrying capacity of tubular columns. Test samples include 100 specimens with different values for diameter, length, thickn...
