Effectiveness of Extensional Damping Using Rubber as Layer
Abstract: Structural damping treatments are free layer damping and constrained layer damping, made of metal and viscoelastic layer combinations which help to reduce vibrations. A free layer damping (FLD) treatment also known as Extensional Damping is formed by applying a coating of a damping material to one side of a structure. The treatment may be symmetric or asymmetric, and applied to beams, plates or shells in bending or in tension. In …

Influence of Constant Micro Strain Levels on the Strength Properties of the Asphalt Concrete mixture
Abstract: Asphalt concrete mixture is designed to resist the deformation and vehicular traffic loading throughout its service life. However, when the asphalt concrete pavement practices over loading within the service life period, it exhibits cracking and rutting. In the present investigation, an attempt has been taken to understand the strength performance of asphalt concrete when practicing variable levels of constant stresses. Asphalt concrete mixture was prepared at optimum asphalt cement requirement …

Analysis of Parabolically versus Exponentially Tapered Inbuilt Chip-to-Fiber Butt Coupler
Abstract: AbstractThe finite difference beam propagating method (BPM) is one of the most powerful technique to investigate linear and nonlinear lightwave propagation phenomena in axially varying waveguides such as curvilinear directional couplers, branching and combining waveguides, S-shaped bend waveguides, and different types of tapered waveguides. BPM is also quite important for the analysis of ultra short light pulse propagation in optical fibers. To date numerous algorithms for BPM have been proposed …

Is tibial expert nailing biomechanically more stable compared to intramedullary nailing for tibial fractures?
Abstract: Background: Fractures of the tibia and fibula are relatively common and have been recognized as serious and debilitating injuries, because its surface is subcutaneous throughout most of its length, open fractures are more common in the tibia than in any other major long bones. To avoid complications of operative treatment in association with these characteristics of the tibia, intramedullary nailing has been widely introduced for the tibial diaphyseal fractures, and …

Case Study on Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo, Cervical Spondylitis with Bilateral Carpel Tunnel Syndrome and Psychosis under Evaluation
Abstract: A 55-year-old female patient was admitted in the general medicine female ward with the chief complaints of giddiness for three days, headache for three–four days (increases during exposure to light, sound and stress). She also complaints about nausea, vomiting on and off, giddiness on lying down and bending down, neck stiffness and pain in the both upper limbs for 5 years. Based on the subjective data’s obtained the prognosis was …

Biomechanical Comparison of Tension-Band Wiring Fixations in accordance with Kirschner Wires Placement Modes for Olecranon Fractures: A 3D-Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: Background: Tension-band wiring is a widely accepted fixation technique and remains a standard method of surgical treatment in displaced olecranon fractures. There are 2 techniques according to the Kirschner wires (K-wires) placements; one is to insert the K-wires into the intramedullary canal of the proximal ulna and the other is provided by those anchored into the anterior cortex of the ulna. The purpose of this study was to compare biomechanical …

Comparison of Lateral and Medial Plate Fixations of Talar Neck Fracture: A 3D-Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: Background: Talar neck fractures are rare, but challenging injuries, because the bone has unique anatomy, and its blood supply makes it difficult to stabilize the fracture and is likely to cause posttraumatic or postoperative complications. Thanks to development of appropriately sized plates, outcomes of plate fixation of talar neck fractures have been improved compared with screw fixation. Although some studies have demonstrated no difference between screw only fixation and screw-plate …

Structure–Property-Guided Polymer–Metal Hybrid Design of a Wall Plastering Spray Assembly
Abstract: Wall plastering spray equipment requires a combination of low mass, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility with cementitious mortar, and comfortable operator interaction. The original assembly was primarily developed as a metallic mechanical system; however, a polymer-focused material architecture can reduce non-load-bearing mass while retaining a safe metallic pressure path. This study, therefore, presents a structure–property-guided polymer–metal hybrid design in which the pressure housing and nozzle insert remain metallic, whereas …

Comparison of Compressive Strength, Shear Stress, and Tensile Stress for Load on Column and Load on Foundation Base
Abstract: The structural behavior of reinforced concrete columns and foundation base slabs subjected to axial loading and reactive forces was investigated in this study. The analysis focuses on the effect of upward reactive components generated by concrete resistance in columns and soil pressure beneath foundation bases. Since upward reactions are present in both structural elements, the corresponding lateral loads and resulting stresses were evaluated to verify the adequacy of the proposed …
