Review of articular cartilage repair techniques and their application in the horse

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Articular cartilage lesions represent a significant career‐limiting problem in athletic horses. A healthy articular cartilage surface is vital for optimal joint function, and defects can result in irreversible degenerative changes. Successful treatment of cartilage lesions remains a long‐standing challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, prompting ...

Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.

Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of Perfobond Rib Shear Connectors Embedded in Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
In this paper, the use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) for the upper slabs in steel-concrete composite beams is proposed. Perfobond rib connector (PBL), a relatively new type of shear connectors, has been widely used to ensure composite action ...

Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a mechanics‐based numerical model to characterize the behavior of cold joints in reinforced concrete members subjected to monotonic loading. The model incorporates mechanisms such as interface slip and opening, aggregate interlock, clamping force, and dowel action of the reinforcing bars crossing the interface.

Shear Behavior of Dowel–Stud Hybrid Connectors for HSS-HPC Composite Structures: Geometry Optimization and Material Synergistic Effects

Buildings
The growing adoption of steel–concrete composite beams has spurred extensive use of high-strength steel (HSS) and high-performance concrete (HPC) in composite structures, capitalizing on their superior mechanical properties.

Comparative Study on Mechanical Behavior of Bamboo-Concrete Connections and Wood-Concrete Connections

Frontiers in Materials, 2020
To investigate the similarities and differences of mechanical behavior between the bamboo-concrete connections and the wood-concrete connections, thirty-six specimens were tested through push-out tests with the material type (bamboo or wood), concrete ...

Two‐Dimensional FEA of Dowels of Different Compositions and External Surface Configurations [PDF]

Journal of Prosthodontics, 2008
Abstract Purpose: The degree of stress generated in the endodontically treated and restored tooth can be influenced by the composition and configuration of the dowels used for the restoration. Using two‐dimensional (2D) finite element analysis (FEA), this study tested the hypothesis that the characterization of the stress distribution can be influenced

Simple and detailed modeling of corrosion‐affected slender shear critical RC beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of steel bars compromises both the safety and the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Consequently, reliable tools are required to estimate the detrimental effects of corrosion on the structural response of RC members subjected to transverse loads.

Evaluating Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Cross-Laminated Timber Bonded with a Soy-Based Adhesive

Buildings, 2020
Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from indoor sources are large determinants of the indoor air quality (IAQ) and occupant health. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a panelized engineered wood product often left exposed as an interior surface finish.
