Dynamic Finite Element Analysis of Impulsive Stress Waves Propagating from the Greater Trochanter of the Femur by a Sideways Fall [PDF]
Fall accidents are a common cause of femoral fracture in the elderly. The greater trochanter of the femur is often subjected to impact loading by a sideways fall, and thus it is worth studying the impulsive stress waves propagating in the femur.

Influence of matrix toughness and interfacial strength on the toughness of epoxy composites with ductile steel fabric reinforcement [PDF]
In the last decades, several studies have been performed on polymers reinforced with steel cords or wires. However, the diameter of these steel reinforcements was still quite large (200 micron and more).

Compressive and tensile axial strain reduced critical currents in Bi-2212 conductors [PDF]
Mono and multifilamentary wires of BSCCO-2212 in Ag matrix are investigated in an axial strain experiment. The superconducting samples are soldered to a substrate that is bend in order to achieve a compressive or tensile axial strain. The I/sub c/-strain
