Biomechanical analysis of a novel suture pattern for repair of equine tendon lacerations
… can lead to significant gap formation, construct failure, longer healing time and poor quality of the healed tendon. Similar to equine surgery, gap formation and construct failure are common concerns in human medicine, with early return to post-operative physiotherapy challenging the primary …

Ultimate Strength Prediction in Fiberglass/Epoxy Beams Subjected to Three-Point Bending Using Acoustic Emission and Neural Networks
… demonstrates the feasibility of predicting ultimate strengths in composite beams subjected to 3-point bending using a neural network analysis of acoustic emission (AE) amplitude distribution data. Fifteen unidirectional fiberglass/epoxy beams were loaded to failure in a 3-point bend test …

Ultimate Compression After Impact Load Prediction in Graphite/Epoxy Coupons Using Neural Network and Multivariate Statistical Analyses
… of this research was to accurately predict the ultimate compressive load of impact damaged graphite/epoxy coupons using a Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM) neural network and multivariate statistical regression analysis (MSRA). An optimized use of these data treatment tools allowed the …

Characterization of new particulate MMC materials and bolted joints through applicable ASTM standards
… with added properties like high stiffness, high ultimate strength and hardness.;In this study we deal with PRMMC manufactured by a novel technology involving the pressure less infiltration of aluminum into a mass of ceramic reinforcement particles. Basic tests like tension test, three point …

Experimental Investigations of Residual Strength and Repaired Strength of Corrosion Damaged Prestressed Bridge Beams
… of five full-scale bridge members were tested to failure throughout this stage. All beams were subjected to monotonically increasing loads until failure. For beams repaired with external PT, the experimental test was accompanied by a detailed approach for determining the ultimate failure load, the …

An investigation into the punching shear failure in R.C. waffle slabs subjected to concentrated load
… more vulnerable when subjected to concentrated loads. The punching shear failure inside waffle slabs has not been thoroughly investigated and this is also reflected in the current code of practice, which, in the main, relates the design of punching shear in waffle slabs to that in solid slabs. …

Optimal Parameters for Doubly Curved Sandwich Shells, Composite Laminates, and Atmospheric Plasma Spray Process
… stress recovery scheme (SRS) and the Tsai-Wu failure criterion to find the stacking sequence of composite laminates and the topology and materials for doubly curved sandwich shells to maximize the first failure load. It is followed by the progressive failure analysis to determine the ultimate …

Optimum First Failure Loads of Sandwich Plates/Shells and Vibrations of Incompressible Material Plates
… face sheets for it to have the maximum first failure load under quasistatic (blast) loads. The analyses employ a third-order shear and normal deformable plate/shell theory (TSNDT), the finite element method (FEM), a stress recovery scheme (SRS), the Tsai-Wu failure criterion and the Nest-Site …
