Congruent Weber-B ankle fractures do not alter tibiotalar contact mechanics. [PDF]
Sci RepCurrent treatment strategy for managing Weber B ankle fractures is mainly governed by mortise congruency, malleolar alignment, deltoid ligament competence and fracture stability.

Placing the transtibial centralisation stitch at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus best restores tibiofemoral contact mechanics and extrusion following medial meniscus posterior root tears: An in vitro biomechanical study using porcine knee joints. [PDF]
J Exp OrthopPurpose To evaluate whether the position of the transtibial centralisation tunnel, on the background of an anatomical transtibial pull‐through root repair (ATPR), affects the tibiofemoral contact mechanics and meniscal extrusion for medial meniscus ...

Merged contact layer in adhesion mechanics [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Predicting bond strength is the most common task in adhesion mechanics. To solve these problems, a contact layer model which describes the interaction of the substrate and adhesive layers, can be used.

Contact Hamiltonian mechanics [PDF]
Annals of Physics, 2017 In this work we introduce contact Hamiltonian mechanics, an extension of symplectic Hamiltonian mechanics, and show that it is a natural candidate for a geometric description of non-dissipative and dissipative systems. For this purpose we review in detail the major features of standard symplectic Hamiltonian dynamics and show that all of them can be ...

Contact mechanics model of lung lobar sliding
Applications in Engineering Science, 2022 Lobar sliding is an often-overlooked aspect of lung mechanics that presents a potential source of variance in the lung mechanics and physiology of different subjects.

Fractal and Fractional, 2021 This study investigates the predictions of the real contact area for perfectly elastic rough surfaces using a boundary element method (BEM). Sample surface measurements were used in the BEM to predict the real contact area as a function of load.

From Geometry to Coherent Dissipative Dynamics in Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Reports, 2021 Starting from the geometric description of quantum systems, we propose a novel approach to time-independent dissipative quantum processes according to which energy is dissipated but the coherence of the states is preserved.
