Actual applications of the energy absorbers showed that actual loads are not applied in the form of pure axial compression, pure bending or pure torsion. In reality, an energy absorber component may be subjected to combined loading of compression, bending and torsion. A number of previous articles have investigated the behavior of energy absorbers under oblique loading. In such cases, the obliq...

in this study, first energy absorption of axial and bending loading is considered. next, thin walled structures under oblique loading are investigated using abaqus computer simulation, where 180 different cases are simulated. simulation results of the thin walled structures under oblique loading were compared with the experimental results of nagel, and good agreement was perceived. simulation r...

BACKGROUND There is limited information regarding load responses of the posterior oblique and superficial medial collateral ligaments to applied loads. HYPOTHESES The degree of knee flexion affects loads experienced by the posterior oblique ligament and both divisions of the superficial medial collateral ligament. The posterior oblique ligament provides significant resistance to valgus and in...

introduction: many studies have been performed to evaluate the stress distribution around endodontic posts; those which compared posts composed of different materials are rare. the aim of this study was to compare stresses induced in dentin by three structurally different posts using photoelasticity method. materials and methods: nine blocks of psm-5 photoelastic material with 45×45×10 mm dimen...

this study aims to numerically investigate on the crashworthiness of thin-walled square tubes by consideration of 3-d oblique loading. in this type of loading, direction of loading is defined by using two spatial angles relative to the position of the tube. to this aim, finite element (fe) analysis is employed to simulate the loading for 8 different numerical models with different loading orien...

Orientation perception is not comparable across all orientations-a phenomenon commonly referred to as the oblique effect. Here, we first assessed the interaction between stimulus contrast and the oblique effect. Specifically, we examined whether the impairment in behavioral performance for oblique versus cardinal orientations is best explained by a contrast or a response gain modulation of the ...

[Purpose] The present study examined the activity and the gait characteristics of the gluteus medius and the trunk stability muscles during the stance phase of gait on level ground when a vertical load corresponding to 0%, 1%, or 2% of body weight was placed on the lower extremities during the swing phase of the gait. [Methods] The subjects were 40 young males aged between 21 and 30 years. The ...
