Fistulas of the sigmoid flexure

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1961
Records of a series of 28 patients with sigmoidal fistulas have been reviewed. Our discussion of the incidence and pathogenesis of sigmoidal fistulas is based on a review of the literature and a study of a collected series of cases. The value of various diagnostic features (symptomatology, physical examination, sigmoidoscopy, roentgenography, urologic ...

Hybrid flexure hinges

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2013
This paper designs and analyzes the hybrid flexure hinge composed of half a hyperbolic flexure hinge and half a corner-filleted flexure hinge. As it is transversely asymmetric, it has different performance when the fixed and free ends switch.

Flexural Pseudolesions of the Duodenum

Radiology, 1976
A collection of barium simulating an ulcer, or a negative defect simulating a mass, frequently occurs at the junction of the first and second portions of the duodenum. This appearance may be related to several factors, including (a) distortion produced by flexion, (b) sphincter function, and (c) an extrinsic impression.

Carcinoma of the splenic flexure

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1987
Carcinoma of the splenic flexure is uncommon and the diagnosis should be kept in mind, particularly in patients with recurring upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Resection is usually possible and operative complications are few. The site of the tumor does not affect long-term survival.

Flexural Joints in Mechanisms

Dynamic Systems and Control: Volume 2, 2000
Abstract The application of flexural joints in mechanisms has a number of advantages. Extreme repeatability of position is obtained because of the absence of backlash and friction. From a tribological point of view, no lubrication is needed and no wear exists. In many cases their application gives rise to a low cost assembly.

Shear Centre, Flexural Centre and Flexural Axis

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1951
AERONAUTICAL engineers are afflicted by various ‘centres’ which will not stay put. Weights engineers spend much of their time chasing the elusive centre of gravity up and down the fuselage, the aerodynamicist worries about the centre of pressure, and the structural engineer, in addition to these, is cursed with the flexural centre and the shear centre.
