RISQuantification of Age Related Tissue Level Failure Strains of Rat Femoral Cortical Bones Using an Approach Combining Macrocompressive Test and Microfinite Element Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bone mechanical properties vary with age; meanwhile, a close relationship exists among bone mechanical properties at different levels. Therefore, conducting multilevel analyses for bone structures with different ages are ...
Effects of Coating Thickness, Test Temperature, and Coating Hardness on the Erosion Resistance of Steam Turbine Blades
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper experimentally examines the influence of coating thickness, test temperature, coating hardness, and defects on the erosion resistance of boride coatings, ion plating CrN coatings, and ...
Derivation of Hydropower Rules for Multireservoir Systems and Its Application for Optimal Reservoir Storage Allocation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydropower operating rules can guide reservoir release and storage for maximizing hydropower generation. The optimal hydropower operating rules are usually derived by numerical hydropower simulation methods. This study ...
Global NDVI Patterns in Response to Atmospheric Water Vapor Anomalies over the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool during April–June
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertically integrated atmospheric water vapor (VIWV) over the Indo-Pacific warm pool (IPWP) indirectly affects terrestrial vegetation growth (TVG) patterns through atmospheric water vapor transmission. However, their ...
Diffusivity of Human Cartilage Endplates in Healthy and Degenerated Intervertebral Disks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cartilage endplates (CEPs) on the superior and inferior surfaces of the intervertebral disk (IVD), are the primary nutrient transport pathways between the disk and the vertebral body. Passive diffusion is responsible ...
