Integrated Taguchi-PCA-GRA based multi objective optimization of tube projection and radial clearance for friction stir welded heat exchanger tube-to-tube sheet joints

open access: yesInternational Journal of Lightweight Materials and Manufacture
Leak proof tube-to-tube sheet joints are mandatory for the optimal operation and longevity of the shell and tube heat exchanger. Tube-to-tube sheet joints play a crucial role as fluid barriers, ensuring effective separation between the tube and shell ...

High Health Care Utilization Preceding Diagnosis With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Although early diagnosis improves long‐term outcomes, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience prolonged, circuitous paths to diagnosis. To inform diagnostic improvement, we sought to characterize health care utilization in the year preceding diagnosis. Methods We identified 10,021 patients with an incident diagnosis

Dynamic Analysis of a Planar Hydraulic Rock-Breaker Mechanism with Multiple Clearance Joints

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2019
Clearance exists in the joint of a mechanism because of the assemblage, manufacturing tolerances, wear, and other conditions, and it is a focus of research in the field of multibody dynamics.

Cumulative Social Disadvantage and Disease Activity in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) disparities, but most studies have assessed SDOH independently rather than cumulatively across individual, family, and neighborhood levels. Using a socioecological framework, we investigated the relationship among cumulative social disadvantage ...

Biopsychosocial Determinants of Hand Function and Its Trajectories Over Five Years in Patients With Hand Osteoarthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to investigate hand function trajectories over five years in primary hand osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, determinants of baseline and longitudinal hand function were assessed. Methods A total of 538 patients with both baseline and five‐year study visits were analyzed.

Control of mechanical joints that have joint clearance

open access: yes, 2015
Joint clearance is a defect that is present in all mechanical joints in every mechanism. Joint clearances for revolute joints result from the relatively small difference between the dimensions of diameters of two concentric bodies which interrelated to each other. Manufacturing errors, tolerances, wear, and material deformation lead to joint clearances.

Obesity Subtypes and Longitudinal Trajectories of Function Over Seven Years of Follow‐Up: Data From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Obesity, defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2, is a risk factor for functional limitations in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, function varies among such individuals. Our objective was to evaluate the implications of obesity subtypes on longitudinal patterns of physical functioning in people with or at risk for knee OA ...
