Bone fracture risk assessing method involves inserting test probe through periosteum and soft tissue on bone, so as to evaluate resistance of bone to microscopic fracture
Background: Although digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) can be readily calculated from real-world data collected with wearable devices and ad-hoc algorithms, technical validation is still required. The aim of this paper is to comparatively assess and validat ...
Atomistic modeling of fracture is intended to illuminate the complex response of atoms in the very high stressed region just ahead of a sharp crack. Accurate modeling of the atomic scale fracture is crucial for describing the intrinsic nature of a material ...
Punching of flat slabs without transverse reinforcement has mostly been investigated in the past for slabs with equal reinforcement ratios in the two directions and loaded under axis-symmetrical conditions. However, in practice, slab bridges as well as man ...
We report a novel mode of quasi-static oscillatory crack propagation when a cutting tool is driven through a thin polymer film [6,7]. In our experiments, for tools with a large enough width, the crack tip follows a highly periodic path, leaving behind a st ...
