Abstract: An experimental technique has been developed to measure changes in vascular permeability caused by thermal trauma to the microvascular bed of the hamster cheek pouch. A solution of flourescein ...

Abstract: Digital image correlation (DIC) and fiber optic strain sensors (FOSs) are two structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques that are reasonably well developed, but temperature effects remain a difficulty in interpreting ...

Abstract: Conditions leading to the growth of initial imperfections for rings or long cylindrical shells subjected to initial uniform inward impulsive velocity loading are investigated. The work is motivated ...

Abstract: An investigation of collagen fiber reorientation, as well as fluid and matrix movement of equine articular cartilage and subchondral bone under compressive mechanical loads, was undertaken using ...

Abstract: The design of a straight benthic flow-through flume for in situ studies of cohesive sediment dynamics is described including the flume structure and probes installed for routine measurements of suspended sediments and flow ...
