Abstract The article presents results of vibration tests thin-walled plates used in shipbuilding for plating hulls vessels. conducted were aimed at determining the possibility using measurements acceleration recorded on tested objects as parameters enabling detection damages performed welded joints. Seven compared, six which had joints different technical conditions, and one was a board without...

The objective of this paper is to provide guidance for the design of the thick-walled cylinder made up of transversely isotropic material so that collapse of cylinder due to influence of internal and external pressure can be avoided. The concept of transition theory based on Lebesgue strain measure has been used to simplify the constitutive equations. Results have been analyzed theoretically an...

objective(s) diabetes related dysfunction of resistance vessels is associated with vascular occlusive diseases. vasorelaxant agents may have a role in control of diabetic cardiovascular complications. gamma aminobutyric acid (gaba) has demonstrated to cause vasorelaxation. the present study was designed to determine i) the vasorelaxatory effect of gaba on diabetic vessels and ii) the role of en...

Hobnail hemangiomas are benign vascular lesions, and their occurrence in the oral cavity is relatively rare. Here, we report a case of hobnail hemangioma that occurred on tongue. The patient, an 84-year-old woman, was referred to our maxillofacial surgery by internal medicine department June 2018. mass lower surface right side her tongue 6 × 6-mm-sized dark-brown, elastic, hard, elevated lesion...

Insulated pressure vessels are cryogenic-capable pressure vessels that can be fueled with liquid hydrogen (LH2) or ambient-temperature compressed hydrogen (CH2). Insulated pressure vessels offer the advantages of liquid hydrogen tanks (low weight and volume), with reduced disadvantages (fuel flexibility, lower energy requirement for hydrogen liquefaction and reduced evaporative losses). The wor...

OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate whether infusion of either atrial natriuretic factor (ANF, 800 ng.h-1.rat-1) or a specific inhibitory of neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEI, UK 73,967, 5.4 mg.kg-1.d-1) can influence the reversal of the pulmonary vascular remodelling produced by exposure to hypoxia. METHODS Male Wistar rats were kept in a normobaric hypoxic chamber (FiO2 = 10%) for 7 d. Chro...

Dehiscence of median sternotomy wounds remains a clinical problem. Wall forces in thin-walled pressure vessels can be calculated by membrane stress theory. An ellipsoid pressure vessel model of sternal forces is presented together with its application for optimal wire placement in the sternum. Sternal forces were calculated by computational simulation using an ellipsoid chest wall model. Sterna...

This paper investigates the effective wall thickness of a single-walled carbon nanotube, a critical quantity for any research in mechanics and property characterization of carbon nanotubes. To this end, the response of a bundle of single-walled carbon nanotubes to external hydrostatic pressure was modeled using the ring theory of continuum mechanics. The model predicted that the equivalent thic...
