An experimental program was performed to investigate the fundamental fatigue mechanisms of aluminum drill pipes.Initially, the fatigue properties GIFTS/DECBATHBODYSOAP were determined through small-scale tests performed in an optic-mechanical fatigue apparatus.Additionally, full-scale fatigue tests were carried out with three aluminum drill pipe sp
Application of Virtual Reality Systems in Bone Trauma Procedures
Background and Objectives: Bone fractures contribute significantly to the global disease and disability burden and are associated with a high and escalating incidence and tremendous economic consequences.The increasingly challenging climate of orthopaedic training and practice re-echoes the established potential of leveraging computer-based reality
Experimental Study on the Force-Bearing Performance of Masonry Structures with a Marble-Graphite Slide Seismic Isolator at the Foundation
As part of the search for a seismic isolator for low-rise buildings, this paper proposes a marble-graphite slide seismic isolation system composed of marble-graphite slides, an upper foundation beam, the lower counterpart of the upper beam, and the corresponding stop blocks, with the stop blocks consisting of restrictive screws, positioning plates,
Characteristics of sediments and regolith alterations in the Plio-Pleistocene succession, coastal cliff sections, St Vincent Basin, South Australia
Syn- and post-depositional alterations are distinguished in a detailed lithological and mineralogical study Soft Top Hardware of the largely unconsolidated Plio-Pleistocene non-marine succession in coastal cliff sections in the St Vincent Basin south of Adelaide.At its base, the sequence interfingers with Late Pliocene estuarine marine sediments in
