Analysis of cumulative strain in tendons and tendon sheaths
(Elsevier, 1987)
Twenty-five fresh frozen flexor digitorum profundus tendons stratified by sex were subjected to uniaxial step stress and cyclic loads in twelve intact human cadaver hands. By attaching specially designed clip strain gage ...
The solution of elasticity problems for the half-space by the method of Green and Collins
(Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague/Kluwer Academic Publishers; Martinus Nijhoff Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1983-06)
The paper reviews the method of complex potential functions developed by Green and Collins as applied to axisymmetric mixed boundary value problems in elasticity for the half-space. It is shown how the method can be applied ...
Radiation-affected laminar flame propagation
(Elsevier, 1982)
Increased laminar flame thickness and flame speed under the influence of radiation is shown in terms of an original heat transfer number where is the weighted nongreyness, [kappa]p and [kappa]R are the Planck mean and ...
Transient thermoelastic contact problem of two sliding half-planes
(Elsevier, 1985-03)
A transient contact problem with frictional heating for two sliding halfplanes is considered. One of the half-planes is slightly rounded to give a hertzian initial pressure distribution; the other is a rigid non-conductor. ...
Biomechanical model calculation of muscle contraction forces: A double linear programming method
(Elsevier, 1988)
This paper presents a novel scheme for the use of linear programming to calculate muscle contraction forces in models describing musculoskeletal system biomechanics. Models of this kind are frequently found in the biomechanics ...
Radiative entropy production--lost heat into entropy
(Elsevier, 1987-10)
Heat flow [delta]Q of the First Law of Thermodynamics is expressed in terms of the entropy flow [delta](Q/T)[delta]Q [triple bond] [delta][T(Q/T)] = T[delta](Q/T)+(Q/T)dT where T[delta](Q/T) denotes the energy equivalent ...
Separation and slip between a layer and a substrate caused by a tensile load
(Elsevier, 1980)
The paper treats the elastic layer that is pressed uniformly against a half space and is subsequently subjected to a concentrated force tending to induce slip and separation between the bodies. The formulation, based on ...
Steady sliding of a circular cylinder over a dissimilar thermally conducting half-plane
(Elsevier, 1986)
The problem of a thermally conducting cylinder sliding steadily over the surface of an elastic half-plane with different thermal properties was analyzed. Appropriate Green's functions are used to reduce the problem to an ...
