Symmetry Properties in the Symmetry-Breaking of Nonsmooth Dynamical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the block simply supported on a harmonically moving ground is assumed as a system well representing a typical nonsmooth dynamical behavior. The aim of the work is to carry out ...
Two Different Approaches for Collapse of Nonsymmetric Masonry Arches: Monasterio’s Treatment versus Limit Equilibrium Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research can be viewed as a development of the critical review of the Monasterio’s manuscript Nueva teórica sobre el empuje de bóvedas, proposed by the authors in previous studies; this unpublished manuscript is devoted ...
Modern Formulation for Preelastic Theories on Masonry Arches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The masonry arch as a system of rigid voussoirs subject to unilateral constraints has been investigated applying the principle of virtual work in order to define a general criterion providing the necessary and sufficient ...
A Novel Testing Method to Quantify Mechanical Properties of the Intact Annulus Fibrosus Ring From Rat-Tail Intervertebral Discs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The annulus fibrosus is the ring-like exterior of the intervertebral disc, which is composed of concentrically organized layers of collagen fiber bundles. The mechanical properties of the annulus have been studied extensively; ...
How Spinal Flexion Influences Fracture Morphology in the Porcine Spine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Acute injuries to the spine, including slips and falls and motor vehicle accidents, most commonly occur when the spine is positioned in flexion. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how spine ...
Does Annulus Fibrosus Lamellar Adhesion Testing Require Preconditioning?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The interlamellar matrix (ILM), located between the annular layers of the intervertebral disc (IVD), is an adhesive component which acts to resist delamination. Investigating the mechanical properties of the ILM can provide ...
