Fractures in Brief: Olecranon Fractures [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2012
Olecranon fractures are relatively common injuries, accounting for approximately 10% of upper extremity fractures in adults [26]. These fractures may result from a direct blow to the proximal ulna, or indirectly, via the forceful contraction of the triceps against resistance (typically, during a fall onto an outstretched hand).

Hangman’s fracture vs hanged-man’s fracture vs hangee’s fracture [PDF]

open access: yesActa Neurochirurgica, 2013
not necessarily a male. The conventional name of “hangman’s fracture”, therefore, should be “hanged-person’s fracture”. Accordingly, we suggest that a more suitable terminology for the so-called “hangman’s fracture” may be the “hangee’s fracture”.

Analysis of localized oxides and oxide films formed on alloy 625 and 617 in supercritical water and superheated steam environments at 750°C

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2017
Oxidation tests using coupon specimens of alloy 625 and alloy 617, and four-point bending tests for a duration of 100 hrs were carried out in supercritical water (SCW) environment at a pressure of 24 MPa and in superheated steam (SHS) environments at 750°

Fracture through cavitation in a metallic glass [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The fracture surfaces of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass exhibit exotic multi-affine isotropic scaling properties. The study of the mismatch between the two facing fracture surfaces as a function of their distance shows that fracture occurs mostly through

Preparation and performance evaluation of electrothermal actuators using aligned carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy composites

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2016
By using an aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced epoxy composite, an electrothermal bimorph actuator was fabricated and its load and deformation capacities were investigated.

Analysis of the Bauschinger Effect in Cold Drawn Pearlitic Steels

open access: yesMetals, 2020
Prestressing steel wires usually undergo cyclic loading in service. Therefore, it is of interest to analyse certain features of their mechanical behaviour under this type of loading, such as the Bauschinger effect (BE) or the hardening rule, that fit the

Downscaling of fracture energy during brittle creep experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We present mode 1 brittle creep fracture experiments along fracture surfaces that contain strength heterogeneities. Our observations provide a link between smooth macroscopic time-dependent failure and intermittent microscopic stress-dependent processes.

Mechanical and thermal expansion properties of aligned carbon nanotube reinforced epoxy composites

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2019
Aligned MWCNT/epoxy composites made with the three types of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with different thermal annealing temperature have been prepared, and the tensile tests and thermal expansion tests of the composites in the MWCNT ...

Validation of orthopaedic surgeons’ assessment of cognitive function in patients with acute hip fracture

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background About one fourth of patients with hip fracture have cognitive impairment. These patients are at higher risk of surgical and medical complications and are often excluded from participating in clinical research.
