In this paper, an analytical formula to calculate the radial stiffness of groove elastic support is presented. The influence of structure parameters on radial stiffness and homogeneity of radial stiffness is investigated as well. The accuracy and calculating speed of the analysis formula are compared to that of finite element method (FEM). Findings are as following: The calculating speed of ana...

background and objectives : examination of cartilage repair in animal work is dependent upon the thickness and radius of the induced impalement.  full-thickness defects with a radius of 3 mm have been commonly used in animal studies to evaluate new procedures designed to improve the quality of articular cartilage repair. the aim of the present study was to define the biomechanical characteristi...

Regarding the importance of ring spinning method among spinning systems, great potentials exist for research about on the improvement of the quality and properties of ring spun yarn. This study aims to improve yarn quality by changing the shape and dimensions of spinning triangle through forming a groove in the middle zone of the front darfting roller with a curvature of 5 to 7 mm. For the to...

An experimental and numerical investigation is performed into the power loss induced in grooved polymer optical fibers (POFs) subjected to combined bending and elongation deformations. The power loss is examined as a function of both the groove depth and the bend radius. An elastic-plastic three-dimensional finite element model is constructed to simulate the deformation in the grooved region of...

Spatially confined liquid crystals exhibit non-uniform alignment, often accompanied by self-organised topological defects of non-trivial shape in response to imposed boundary conditions and geometry. Here we show that a nematic liquid crystal, when confined in a sinusoidal microwrinkle groove, exhibits a new periodic arrangement of twist deformations and a zigzag line defect. This periodic orde...

atrioventricular groove rupture is a rare, albeit mortal, complication following mitral valve surgery. avoidance is the best strategy but it cannot fully prevent the occurrence of this complication. several repair techniques have been described with varying success rates; however, the rarity of the complication precludes consensus about the safest technique. here we report two cases of posterio...

On the basis of a mathematical model, problem compression two elastic transversely isotropic half-spaces, one which contains shallow near-surface groove an elliptical section, is considered. The solution to obtained using Elliott representation for body in terms harmonic functions, classical potentials and reducing boundary value considering integro-differential equation with unknown domain int...

In the robotic belt grinding process, elastic contact condition between flexible tool and workpiece is a critical issue which extremely influences surface quality of manufactured part. The existing analysis removal mechanism based on statistic but ignoring dynamic phenomenon. this paper, we discussed pressure distribution caused by non-unique depth in process. Based single grit, obtained topolo...
