A comparison of EFECE systems with tension band wiring for patella fracture fixation in cadavers
Background EFECE systems are newly defined internal fixation systems, which are suitable for patella fracture fixation. The aim of this study was to compare the fixation strength of EFECE Systems with tension band wiring for transverse patellar fracture ...

Analysis of nanoindentation of soft materials with an atomic force microscope [PDF]
Nanoindentation is a popular experimental technique for characterization of the mechanical properties of soft and biological materials. With its force resolution of tens of pico-Newtons, the atomic force microscope (AFM) is well-suited for performing ...

Controlling Rice Leaf Breaking Force by Temperature and Moisture Content to Reduce Breakage
Leaf fragments and grain mixture produced by rice threshing with a combine harvester seriously affects the subsequent grain cleaning efficiency. In this paper, rice leaf breaking force was tested at different temperatures and moisture contents to analyze

Fracture behavior of metakaolin‐based geopolymer reinforced with carbon nanofibers
We investigate the fracture response of metakaolin‐based geopolymer reinforced with 0.1 wt%, 0.2 wt%, and 0.5 wt% carbon nanofibers. We measure the elastoplastic response using microindentation tests. We note an increase in indentation modulus of 5%, 13%,

Fracture Propagation Driven by Fluid Outflow from a Low-permeability Aquifer [PDF]
Deep saline aquifers are promising geological reservoirs for CO2 sequestration if they do not leak. The absence of leakage is provided by the caprock integrity.

Frictional forces and ankle fractures in sport. [PDF]
The frictional forces between the sports footwear and the ground can induce distorsion trauma to the lower extremity. Two cases are reported in which fractures about the ankle are related to this friction. An adjustment and reduction of the frictional forces are recommendable.
