Abstract: An estimated number of 300,000 new anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur each year in the United States. Recent studies have pointed out a correlation between the curvature of the femur intercondylar notch and ...

Abstract: Composite materials have a myriad of applications in complex engineering systems, and multiple structural health monitoring (SHM) strategies have been developed. However, these methods are challenging due to signal attenuation ...

Abstract: This study aims to address the question: can the structural reliability of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) under fatigue loading conditions be predicted more consistently? To respond to that question this study addresses ...

Abstract: The advent of state-of-the-art additive manufacturing (AM) processes has facilitated the manufacturing of complex orthopedic metallic implants such as femoral stems with porous portions based on lattice structures. These ...

Abstract: Early diagnosis in rotating machinery has been a challenge when looking toward the concept of intelligent machines. A crucial and critical component in these systems is the lubricated journal bearing, subjected to wear ...

Abstract: Rotating machinery has extensive usage in industrial applications, either as leading equipment (power plants) or as auxiliary equipment (oil and gas exploitation). These highly complex systems demand expensive maintenance ...
