Reliable in vitro method for the evaluation of the primary stability and load transfer of transfemoral prostheses for osseointegrated implantation [PDF]
Osseointegrated transfemoral prostheses experience aseptic complications with an incidence between 3% and 30%. The main aseptic risks are implant loosening, adverse bone remodeling, and post-operative periprosthetic fractures.

The Behavior of a Thread-Bar Grouted Anchor in Soils from Local Strain Monitoring
International standards discourage the use of grouted anchors with a fixed length exceeding 10 m. However, grouted anchors with a fixed length between 10 and 20 m are frequently used in Italy to transfer high loads to ground with poor geotechnical ...

Load transfer across the pelvic bone [PDF]
Earlier experimental and finite element studies notwithstanding, the load transfer and stress distribution in the pelvic bone and the acetabulum in normal conditions are not well understood. This hampers the development of orthopaedic reconstruction methods. The present study deals with more precise finite element analyses of the pelvic bone, which are

Load transfer on instrumented prestressed ground anchors in sandy soil
: This study evaluates load variations in instrumented prestressed ground anchors installed in a bored pile retaining wall system in sandy soil. Data were collected from instrumentation assembled in the bonded length of three anchors, which were ...

Experimental evaluation of load transfer efficiency of non-dowelled concrete pavements
Generally, joint performance in concrete pavements is evaluated in laboratory by applying dynamic loads that require large scale experimental setups. In order to propose a simplified laboratory test, a comprehensive literary review of the fundamentals of

Elasto-plastic variational solution for vertically loaded noncylindrical piles
The existing analytical or semi-analytical methods cannot rigorously capture the geometrical effects of noncylindrical piles in elasto-plastic soils. To solve this issue, based on the principle of virtual work, the governing equations for the pile-soil ...

Effect of Thoracic Connective Lesion on Inter-Leg Coordination in Freely Walking Stick Insects
Multi-legged locomotion requires appropriate coordination of all legs with coincident ground contact. Whereas behaviourally derived coordination rules can adequately describe many aspects of inter-leg coordination, the neural mechanisms underlying these ...
