Contact mechanics of soft granular materials with capillary interaction [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesEngineering applications of soft granular materials require accurate characterisation of their mechanical properties (e.g., Young’s modulus). However, the formation of liquid bridges between the high-water-content surface and substrate introduces ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP‐A) is an inflammatory central nervous system disorder with variable outcomes. Relapse occurs in a subset of patients, but early predictors remain unclear. We aimed to identify admission‐available features associated with 1‐year recurrence and develop an interpretable ...

High-Fidelity Stress Fields in Contact Problems using Beam, Plates, and Shells Layer-Wise Models
, 2023 Structural analysis often involves contact mechanics, as mechanical systems typically feature static or dynamic contact between components. Examples of contact include meshing gears, forming processes, and simulating indentation, with impact analysis of ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective To explore whether higher body fat and lower lean mass are associated with greater pain and worse patient‐reported physical function in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA). A secondary aim was to examine whether pain and patient‐reported physical function differ according to four body composition profiles: high body fat, low lean mass ...

The influence of the indenter tip-radius on indentation testing of brittle materials [PDF]
, 1999 Indentation testing of a brittle material using a notionally ‘sharp’ indenter may reveal several important physical properties, including fracture toughness, surface finish information and the residual stress state. In the case of shallow cone indenters,

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective To evaluate utility of an artificial intelligence (AI) health coach for systemic sclerosis (SSc) self‐management and identify patterns associated with participant engagement. Methods We conducted a mixed methods study in which an AI health coach, powered by a large language model (LLM), was used to support self‐management for SSc.

Finite element based surface roughness study for ohmic contact of microswitches [PDF]
, 2012 Finite element method (FEM) is used to model ohmic contact in microswitches. A determinist approach is adopted, including atomic force microscope (AFM) scanning real contact surfaces and generating rough surfaces with three-dimensional mesh.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective High body mass index (BMI≥27 kg/m2) and aberrant gait biomechanics are primary risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), yet the specific loading patterns linked to clinical disease features remain unclear. Unsupervised machine learning (ML) was used to identify vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) waveform modes of variation and ...
