Nonlinear Stiffness of Semi-Fixed Dowel Joints in Semi-Integral Bridges

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The semi-fixed dowel joint studied in this paper consists of a steel dowel with rubber sleeves and a rubber pad to connect the superstructure and the substructure and to support the main beam. This type of joint is suitably used in retrofitting a jointed

Mechanics‐based model for cold joints in reinforced concrete members

open access: yesStructural 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.

Surgical correction of closed simple metatarsal fractures in a pet rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) with intramedullary pins

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract A 4‐month‐old pet rabbit was presented with intermittent left pelvic limb lameness, painful and swollen left metatarsal region. Radiographs revealed complete simple fractures of the left metatarsal bones II, III and IV. Open reduction and internal fixation were performed using intramedullary pins.

Biohybrid Tendons Enhance the Power‐to‐Weight Ratio and Modularity of Muscle‐Powered Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Biohybrid robots powered by skeletal muscle actuators are capable of dynamically adapting to environmental cues. This study takes inspiration from native muscle–tendon architecture by leveraging tough hydrogels as synthetic tendons for muscle actuators to enhance the power‐to‐weight ratio and modularity of biohybrid machines.
