A micromechanical fracture analysis to investigate the effect of healing particles on the overall mechanical response of a self-healing particulate composite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A computational fracture analysis is conducted on a self‐healing particulate composite employing a finite element model of an actual microstructure. The key objective is to quantify the effects of the actual morphology and the fracture properties of the ...

Anti-fatigue-fracture hydrogels [PDF]

open access: yesScience Advances, 2018
Nanocrystalline domains can be used to create robust anti-fatigue-fracture hydrogels for artificial cartilages and soft robots. The emerging applications of hydrogels in devices and machines require hydrogels to maintain robustness under cyclic ...

Fracture Resistance of Zirconia Oral Implants In Vitro: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Various protocols are available to preclinically assess the fracture resistance of zirconia oral implants. The objective of the present review was to determine the impact of different treatments (dynamic loading, hydrothermal aging) and implant features (

Vertebral Fractures Predict Subsequent Fractures

open access: yesOsteoporosis International, 1999
This population-based study documents an increase in most types of fractures following the occurrence of a clinically recognized vertebral fracture among 820 Rochester, Minnesota, residents. During 4349 person-years of follow-up, 896 new fractures were observed.

Fracture nonunion

open access: yesPan African Medical Journal, 2021
A fracture that lasts for a minimum of nine months without signs of healing for three months is the standard description of nonunion. Plethora of literatures highlights the determinants that increase the risk of nonunion as infections, older age, diabetes, anti-inflammatory drugs, use of tobacco/nicotine, open/compound fracture, low vitamin-D ...

Fracture Model Reduction and Optimization for Forchheimer Flows in Reservoir

open access: yes, 2017
In this study, we analyze the flow filtration process of slightly compressible fluids in fractured porous media. We model the coupled fractured porous media system, where the linear Darcy flow is considered in porous media and the nonlinear Forchheimer ...

Hydraulic fracture propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs: Complex fracture or fracture networks [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Natural Gas Science and Engineering, 2019
Understanding the behavior of fluid-driven hydraulic fracture in naturally fractured reservoirs is crucial in the development of geothermal energy and unconventional reservoirs. This study presents a fully-coupled numerical model to investigate hydraulic propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs, along with a comprehensive discussion on field ...
