Strains in rods

The member shows a tensile normal component of strain in the axial x-direction and contractive normal strains in the transverse directions (due to the Poisson’s effect). The rod does NOT experience ...

Axial strain enhances osteotomy repair with a concomitant increase in connexin43 expression

The mechanical environment is known to influence fracture healing. We speculated that connexin43 (Cx43) gap junctions, which impact skeletal homeostasis, fracture healing and the osteogenic response ...

Method determines axial force in subsea pipelines

A new method allows for determination of axial force on subsea pipelines within the context of DNV-RP-F105-2006, expanding the scope of current recommended practices and benefiting both project ...
