Dynamic Shear Properties of the Temporomandibular Joint Disc

Journal of Dental Research, 2003
Shear stress might be an important factor associated with fatigue failure and damage of the temporomandibular joint disc. Little information, however, is available on the dynamic behavior of the disc in shear. Since the disc is an anisotropic and viscoelastic structure, in the present study the dependency of the dynamic shear behavior on the direction ...

Dynamic Properties of the Human Temporomandibular Joint Disc

Journal of Dental Research, 2001
The cartilaginous intra-articular disc of the human temporomandibular joint shows clear anteroposterior variations in its morphology. However, anteroposterior variations in its tissue behavior have not been investigated thoroughly. To test the hypothesis that the mechanical properties of fresh human temporomandibular joint discs vary in anteroposterior

Properties of joint gaussian statistics

Radio Science, 1978
In this paper joint‐ or complex‐gaussian statistics are assumed to apply to the in‐phase and quadrature components of an electromagnetic wave which has propagated through a turbulent medium, and the consequences of this assumption are compared to tropospheric, ionospheric, and laboratory propagation experiments.

Properties of Wet Welded Joints

Offshore Technology Conference, 1989
ABSTRACT The work presently reported is a part of a joint Rand D program between GKSS Research Centre and Comex Services to develop a wet welding procedure for structural application. The main objective of the report is the presentation of so far evaluated results achieved in a wet welding test program down to a ...

Properties of wet welded joints

Welding International, 1993
Summary The increasing interest taken by the international diving industry in wet welding plays an important part in determining research activities to improve the process and consumables for offshore applications, particularly for higher strength steels at greater water depths.

The frictional properties of joints in rock

Geofisica pura e applicata, 1959
The conditions for sliding over artificial joint surfaces have been studied experimentally by cutting rock cylinders at various angles to their axes and studying slip over these surfaces in a triaxial testing apparatus. The types of joint used were: (i) filled with plaster to simulate a soft joint filling, (ii) bare surfaces ground approximately flat ...

Mechanical properties of rock joints

International Journal of Rock Mechanics and Mining Sciences & Geomechanics Abstracts, 1985
Abstract Sliding on rock joints occurs in situ under various boundary conditions. A servo-controlled direct shear testing machine was constructed to simulate these boundary conditions in the laboratory. Thirty-one sandstone samples were tested with two varying loading paths: (a) constancy of the normal force and (b) restriction of the dilation.

The frictional properties of animal joints

Wear, 1962
Abstract The porosity and stiffness of cartilage were measured. These properties are discussed in relation to the hypothicated “weeping bearing” properties of animal joints. A series of friction experiments were performed which provide confirmation that animal joints are weeping bearings.

Reality’s Joints I: Properties

1993
Abstract The idea that there are in some sense “natural joints” in the world goes back to Plato.1 What this idea seems to suggest is aptly expressed by David Lewis as follows: Among all the countless things and classes that there are, most are miscellaneous, gerrymandered, ill demarcated.

[Biomechanical properties of the sacroiliac joint].

Nihon Seikeigeka Gakkai zasshi, 1988
The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical properties of the bony and cartilagenous elements of the sacroiliac joint. The materials were obtained from human fresh cadavers en bloc, and they were analysed on cartilage thickness, dynamic viscoelasticity, static compressive strength, and bony trabecular structure.
