Design by analysis of ductile failure and buckling in torispherical pressure vessel heads

open access: yes, 2007
Thin shell torispherical pressure vessel heads are known to exhibit complex elastic-plastic deformation and buckling behaviour under static pressure. In pressure vessel Design by Analysis, the designer is required to assess both of these behaviour modes ...

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.

Large deformation behavior and energy absorption of rotating square auxetics

open access: yes
This study focuses on large deformation in-plane response of rotating square (RS) auxetics under quasi-static tension with an emphasis on their energy absorption (EA).

Risk Classification of Large Deformation in Soft-Rock Tunnels Using an Improved Matter–Element Extension Model with Asymmetric Proximity

open access: yesBuildings
An integrated evaluation framework merging the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and an improved matter–element extension model based on asymmetric proximity is developed to classify large deformation risk levels in soft-rock tunnel construction.

High Health Care Utilization Preceding Diagnosis With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Although early diagnosis improves long‐term outcomes, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience prolonged, circuitous paths to diagnosis. To inform diagnostic improvement, we sought to characterize health care utilization in the year preceding diagnosis. Methods We identified 10,021 patients with an incident diagnosis

Cumulative Social Disadvantage and Disease Activity in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) disparities, but most studies have assessed SDOH independently rather than cumulatively across individual, family, and neighborhood levels. Using a socioecological framework, we investigated the relationship among cumulative social disadvantage ...

Persistent scatterer interferometry to monitor mining related ground surface deformation for data-driven modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The monitoring, interpretation and prediction of gradual ground surface deformation are critical factors in the understanding of earth systems. In many parts of the world, particularly in coastal areas where resources are often easily transportable and ...

Correlation of microseismic and chemical properties of brittle deformation in Locharbriggs sandstone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The time-dependent properties of ceramic materials such as rocks depend both on preexisting cracks and chemical properties acting at their tips. We have examined the direct effect of chemical processes on the growth of a crack population by carrying out ...

Biopsychosocial Determinants of Hand Function and Its Trajectories Over Five Years in Patients With Hand Osteoarthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to investigate hand function trajectories over five years in primary hand osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, determinants of baseline and longitudinal hand function were assessed. Methods A total of 538 patients with both baseline and five‐year study visits were analyzed.

Constitutive model for large strain deformation of semicrystalline polymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A constitutive model for large strain deformation of semicrystalline polymers has been formulated to predict the complex elasto-viscoelastic-viscoplastic material response.
