Repeated loading of soil containing granulated rubber and multiple geocell layers [PDF]
Sandy soil/aggregate, such as might be required in a pavement foundation over a soft area, was treated by the addition of one or more geocell layers and granulated rubber.

Pore pressures and strains after repeated loading of saturated clay [PDF]
Repeated and sustained loading tests on undrained samples of normally consolidated lacustrine clay are used to prove the existence of a relationship between pore water pressures and axial strains.The behavior of the clay is studied by investigating the ...

Fatigue Strength of Age-Hardened Al-Zn Alloys under Repeated Tensile Loading [PDF]
Effect of the soft surface layer that was formed on low temperature aging of Al-Zn alloy on fatigue strength was studied under repeated tensile loading. Vickers microhardness test revealed that there existed less hardened region in the vicinity of grain ...

Inverse problem of photoelastic fringe mapping using neural networks [PDF]
This paper presents an enhanced technique for inverse analysis of photoelastic fringes using neural networks to determine the applied load. The technique may be useful in whole-field analysis of photoelastic images obtained due to external loading, which

Repeated Loading of Cement Composite Sandwich Beams [PDF]
Using large lightweight prefabricated sandwich panels offers great possibilities for the renovation of existing dwellings. By facilitating the installation process it reduces the total renovation time to a couple of days. During their life-time, these panels will be subjected to wind loading, equivalent to a repeated loading. The effect of this loading

Orthotropic cyclic stress-softening model for pure shear during repeated loading and unloading [PDF]
We derive an orthotropic model to describe the cyclic stress softening of a carbon-filled rubber vulcanizate through multiple stress-strain cycles with increasing values of the maximum strain. We specialize the deformation to pure shear loading.

Influence of cementless hip stems on femoral cortical strain pattern depending on their extent of porous coating [PDF]
The extent of porous coating of cementless total hip stems is held responsible for radiological periprosthetic changes, the rate of thigh pain, and even its long-term success.

Computed tomography-osteoabsorptiometry for assessing the density distribution of subchondral bone as a measure of long-term mechanical adaptation in individual joints [PDF]
To estimate subchondral mineralisation patterns which represent the long-term loading history of individual joints, a method has been developed employing computed tomography (CT) which permits repeated examination of living joints.

Nocturnal Changes in Knee Cartilage Thickness in Young Healthy Adults [PDF]
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows one to analyze cartilage physiology in vivo. Cartilage deforms during loading, but little is known about its recovery after deformation.

Strand plasticity governs fatigue in colloidal gels
Repeated loading of a solid leads to microstructural damage that ultimately results in catastrophic material failure. While posing a major threat to the stability of virtually all materials, the microscopic origins of fatigue, especially for soft solids,
