Differentiation and Distribution of Marrow Stem Cells in Flex-Flow Environments Demonstrate Support of the Valvular Phenotype. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 For treatment of critical heart valve diseases, prosthetic valves perform fairly well in most adults; however, for pediatric patients, there is the added requirement that the replacement valve grows with the child, thus extremely limiting current ...

FRP Poles: A State-of-the-Art-Review of Manufacturing, Testing, and Modeling
Buildings, 2022 Fiber-reinforced polymers poles were on the increase because they were lightweight, have high strength-to-weight ratios, provide corrosion resistance, can be customized to meet strength and deflection requirements, and have a low life-cycle cost of ...

Effect of Hot-Wet Storage Aging on Mechanical Response of a Woven Thermoplastic Composite
Aerospace, 2020 The effect of hot-wet storage aging on the mechanical response of a carbon fiber polyether ether ketone (PEEK)-matrix woven composite has been studied. A wide range of static loads and selected cyclic load tests on the interlaminar fatigue strength were ...

Flexural behaviour of selected plants under static load [PDF]
, 2010 Abstract. One of the principal purposes of soil bioengineering is the application of vegetation layers from a civil engineering point of view. Living plants are used to reinforce slopes and to control erosion. For a standardised implementation, it is essential to quantify the effectiveness and to assess technical parameters for such bioengineering ...

Non-dimensional approach for static balancing of rotational flexures
Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2015 Abstract This work presents a general method of statically balancing flexural hinges. Using a set of non-dimensional parameters, we show that one can quickly design a statically balanced rotational flexure. First, a balancing method is developed for an idealized hinge/torsion spring system.

A refined shear deformation theory for flexure of thick beams
Latin American Journal of Solids and StructuresA Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory (HPSDT) taking into account transverse shear deformation effects, is used for the static flexure analysis of thick isotropic beams. The displacement field of the theory contains two variables.
