Physical indicators of cartilage health: the relevance of compliance, thickness, swelling and fibrillar texture [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2003 AbstractThis study uses a bovine patella model to compare the relative merits of on‐bone compliance and thickness measurements, free‐swelling behaviour, and structural imaging with differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy to assess the biomechanical normality of the cartilage matrix.

Effects of specimen thickness on apparent swelling pressure evolution of compacted bentonite
Soils and Foundations, 2022 With the interests to see specimen thickness (hsp) effect on apparent swelling pressure (ps) of compacted bentonite and capture characteristics of ps development during wetting bentonite specimens (ps evolution, hereafter), a series of tests to measure ps of compacted bentonite specimens with a dry density (ρd) range of 0.99–1.76 Mg/m3 and a specimen ...

Procedia Engineering, 2017 Abstract Composite materials were made from sugar palm fibre (SPF) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) polymer, by melt compounding method using Haake Polydrive R600 internal mixer and followed by hot-pressing moulding. SPF/TPU composites were prepared with different fibre loading: 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% (by weight) of SPF, with the optimum ...

Woven hybrid composites: Water absorption and thickness swelling behaviors
BioResources, 2011 Oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB)/woven jute fibres (Jw) reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were prepared by hand lay-up technique by keeping the EFB/ woven jute fibre weight ratios constant, i.e. 4:1. By combining oil palm EFB and woven jute fibre, it is possible to take advantage of both fibres while at the same time suppressing their less desirable
