Long‐term wheel‐running prevents reduction of grip strength in type 2 diabetic rats
Physiological Reports, 2021 Diabetic skeletal muscles show reduced contractile force and increased fatigability. Hands are a target for several diabetes‐induced complications. Therefore, reduced handgrip strength often occurs as a consequence of diabetes.

Long-Term Performance of High Strength Concrete [PDF]
Journal of the Korea Concrete Institute, 2004 This paper describes an experimental investigation of how time-dependent deformations of high strength concretes are affected by maximum size of coarse aggregate, curing time, and relatively low sustained stress level. A set of high strength concrete mixes, mainly containing two different maximum sizes of coarse aggregate, have been used to investigate

An innovative micromechanics-based three-dimensional long-term strength criterion for fracture assessment of rock materials [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2018 Rocks may exhibit time-dependent behaviors. Long-term strength criterion significantly dominates creep failure of rocks. Rocks contain many microcracks, which lead to degrade of long-term strength.

Evaluating long-term strength of structures
Thermal Science, 2019 The issue of evaluating strength and service life is discussed as applied to structures, the exploitation properties of which are characterized by multi-parametric nonstationary thermal mechanical effects. The main requirements to mathematical models of the related processes are formulated.
