RISStrength of Hollow Concrete Masonry Reinforced with Sprayed Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results of out-of-plane strength tests on unreinforced and reinforced concrete masonry wallettes that were constructed using
A Novel Application of the Principles of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) to the Fatigue Behavior of Tendon Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: Experiments on the fatigue of tendons have shown that cyclic loading induces failure at stresses lower than the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the tendons. The number of cycles ...
Characterization of the Fatigue Behavior of the Medial Collateral Ligament Utilizing Traditional and Novel Mechanical Variables for the Assessment of Damage Accumulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ligaments are regularly subjected to repetitive loading in vivo. Typically, mechanical studies focus on repetitive loading protocols of short duration, while those characterizing damage accumulation ...
New Construction Material for Offshore Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Offshore islands and structures require protection from wave and ice erosion. Protection has been traditionally provided by sandbags, concrete mats, or quarried rock. The results of a research program are presented in which ...
Numerical Investigation of Creep Effects on FRP-Strengthened RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerical analysis using a finite-element model was performed to simulate and investigate the long-term behavior of two RC beams with similar steel reinforcement, cast from the same batch of concrete. One beam was a plain ...
Hydrostatic Pressure Stimulation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Seeded on Collagen-Based Artificial Extracellular Matrices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) from bone marrow are considered a promising cell source for bone tissue engineering applications because of their ability to differentiate into cells of the ...
Reproduction of In Vivo Motion Using a Parallel Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although alterations in knee joint loading resulting from injury have been shown to influence the development of osteoarthritis, actual in vivo loading conditions of the joint remain unknown. A ...
In Vivo Measurement of the Dynamic 3-D Kinematics of the Ovine Stifle Joint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ovine stifle joint is a promising animal model for investigation of joint mechanobiology. A method for in vivo measurement of dynamic 3-D kinematics of the ovine stifle joint is described ...
Technical Issues in Using Robots to Reproduce Joint Specific Gait
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reproduction of the in vivo motions of joints has become possible with improvements in robot technology and in vivo measuring techniques. A motion analysis system has been used to measure the ...
