Verifying a Glass Pane Under Combined In-Plane Compression and Out-of-Plane Lateral Loads

open access: yesChallenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Using glass elements as designated members of the structural design of buildings does not only require conscientious planning of structural redundancies, but also proof of safety for single components.

Pile-Soil Interaction in Unsaturated Soil Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The degree of saturation has been proven to significantly affect geotechnical engineering designs for foundations. The changes in water content will influence the way the soil behaves, including its strength and stiffness parameters.

Knee Crepitus and Osteoarthritis Features in Young Adults Following Traumatic Knee Injury

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study explored the association between knee crepitus and the presence, and worsening, of structural osteoarthritis features and self‐reported outcomes in young adults following traumatic knee injury. Methods One year following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), 112 participants (41 female participants; median age 28 years ...

Effect of Foot Orthoses on Midfoot Pain and the Volume of Bone Marrow Lesions in the Midfoot: A Randomized Mechanism of Action Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Foot orthoses are thought to improve pain by potentially modifying internal mechanical forces. To test this, we explored whether foot orthoses can modify patterns of bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in people with midfoot pain. Methods Forty‐two people were recruited with midfoot pain, and magnetic resonance imaging–confirmed midfoot BMLs ...

Evaluation of the impact of soil–cement retrofitting on the failure behaviour of wharf piles in liquefiable soils

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading significantly contributes to pile bending failure in pile-supported wharves. However, the combined effects of axial and lateral loads under such conditions have been insufficiently investigated, and the efficacy of ...

Validation of the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System for the Elbow, Wrist, and Finger Joints in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to validate the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System (PAUSS) for upper extremity joints in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods Children with JIA were evaluated for elbow, wrist, or finger arthritis by clinical examination (CE) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) with images scored according to the ...

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Contributions of External, Muscle, and Ligament Forces to Tibiofemoral Contact Loads in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis and Healthy Individuals

open access: yesBioengineering
This study aims to quantify the contributions of external, muscle, and ligament forces to the tibiofemoral contact loads during gait. Additionally, the relative contributions in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and healthy individuals were also ...

A Structural Safety Analysis of Buildings During Construction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
The safety of steel buildings, constructed by the tier method, is evaluated. The probability of failure of steel frames supported on temporary connections is examined during the different stages of completion.
