Abstract: The work shows correct procedures needed in order to gather reliable data from measurement of displacements versus axial load in a laboratory mounting of the Ilizarov external fixator. The ...

Abstract: Using matrix algebra, a mathematical model is formulated for a particular type of external fixator with wires (system developed by Ilizarov) for the treatment of bone fractures. The mathematical ...

Abstract: The technique of measuring residual strain using X-ray diffractometry is examined with respect to prior attempts to experimentally validate couple-stress or micropolar theories. When subjected to ...

Abstract: Experimental methods and results of the stator bladed segment of an aircraft engine are presented. Investigation concerns the energy dissipation due to friction between contact surfaces of adjacent ...

Abstract: The paper describes the development of an instrumented test rig suitable to carry out vibration testing of the bladed segments of a turbine (belonging to a stator low pressure stage) in which ...
