Structural Behavior of Flexible and Semi-Rigid Beam-Column Joint Connections by FEM
Abstract: This study investigates the structural behavior of flexible and semi-rigid beam-column joint connections in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, focusing on the use of Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to simulate their performance under various loading conditions. Traditional analysis methods often oversimplify beam-column connections, treating them as either perfectly rigid or fully flexible, which does not accurately capture real-world joint behavior. In reality, many beam-column joints exhibit semi-rigid characteristics, where the stiffness …

Efficacy of Polyherbal Formulation with Regimenal Therapy in Knee Osteoarthritis at Shamim Ahmad Saeedi Unani Speciality Hospital for Waja-ul-Mufasil (Joint Pain), Funded by the Ministry of AYUSH
Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a joint disease that mostly affects cartilage. Cartilage is the slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over each other. It also helps to absorb the shock of movement. In OA, the top layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together. The rubbing causes pain, swelling, and loss …
