RETURN TO SPORT AFTER ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE
Background: Achilles tendon (AT) rupture is a common injury, particularly among physically active individuals, with a 30% growth rate in the most affected age group (30–39 years). Among professional athletes, 25% fail to return to sport (RTS), and those who do typically require 8–11 months of …

Space-time rupture properties of large earthquakes
… smooth components of the compound events have rupture and slip velocities which are orders of magnitude smaller than those during ordinary earthquakes. Determining the space-time rupture histories of earthquakes that are only recorded teleseismically is a difficult and non-unique process. We …

Prediction of outcome after abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture
… prediction after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture and to design and validate a novel risk scoring instrument. It also aims to examine the utility of novel predictive variables. Finally, it examines the functional outcomes achieved by survivors of aneurysm rupture.

Interaction of earthquake fault rupture with shallow foundations
During earthquakes, emergence of a fault rupture has always been a major threat to the safety of critical structures, as it is very difficult to predict the exact location and magnitude of the fault rupture. Until recently , work concentrated largely on the effect of faulting on lifeine systems …

Survey of Surface Fault Rupture and Structure Interation
… raise awareness of the hazards of surface fault rupture and to identify parameters that influence structural performance during earthquake fault rupture. In researching structures subject to surface rupture, both damaged and sound, guidelines and procedures to evaluate buildings in potential …

Rate dependent rupture of solid-supported phospholipid bilayers.
… behavior of force and probability of bilayer rupture. 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) solid-supported lipid bilayers were created on mica using vesicle fusion technique and then ruptured normal to the surface using a silicon nitride cantilever tip (radius#80nm). High …

Net section rupture in tension members with connection eccentricity
… were used: punched holes and drilled holes. Rupture load capacity of the net section was observed to be significantly reduced with moderate connection eccentricity, and a net section efficiency factor is developed and proposed as a replacement for the current shear lag factor in determining …

Experimental study of bubble rupture during shock-fluid interaction
Head injuries are associated with exposure to high energy explosive detonation. There are four distinct types of blast induced neurotrauma (BINT): 1) these caused by supersonic shock waves propagating in the atmosphere (primary), 2) high velocity impact of shrapnel and debris (secondary) 3) …

Creep Rupture Properties of Tin Tested at Constant Stress
… A series of creep tests were run to rupture at constant stress and constant load. The test variables were adjusted in these tests so that time to rupture varied from approximately 300 minutes to 33500 minutes (5 hours to 558 hours) at room temperature, and from 40 minutes to 2500 …
