Abstract: The determination of biomechanical force systems of implanted femurs to obtain adequate strain measurements has been neglected in many published studies. Due to geometric alterations induced by ...

Abstract: This paper analyzes rail-track geometry degradation and uncertainty related to the phenomenon on the basis of the inspection of car records from recently upgraded sections of the Lisbon-Oporto line. Statistical analysis ...

Abstract: Among the multiple stages of the resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, flow and mold filling of injected resin correspond to the most complex and crucial stage. During the latter, air bubble ...

Abstract: The uplift and evolution of a noncollisional orogen developed along a subduction zone, such as the Andean system, is a direct consequence of the interrelation between plate tectonic stresses ...

Abstract: This paper presents an advanced pantograph-catenary-vehicle-track model, which allows us to analyze the vertical dynamics of the complete system. The developed model is able to evaluate the ...

Abstract: At present, most of the orthopaedic implants used in articular reconstruction are fixed to host bone using acrylic bone-cement. Bone-cement polymerization leads to an exothermic reaction with ...

Abstract: The wall-modeled-large eddy simulation (WMLES) technique was used to analyze turbulent flow in a porous medium composed of a staggered arrangement of square cylinders. The study focused on a porosity range of 0.3–0.8 at a ...
