Abstract:
Hip joint is one of the important load bearing joints and has been extensively studied to investigate contact mechanics and tribology. It has known to experience high contact forces and stresses. However, cartilage shows remarkable lubricating and wear properties, and survives the lifetime of a person. Biphasic lubrication based on the principle of fluid load support has provided an explanation for this. However, when, the cartilage fails the part or whole of the joint needs to be replaced and hemiarthroplasty is one such remedy. Three-dimensional finite element models with elastic/hyperelasti

Istanbul is a city on the water and historically has been a link between East and West. Unlike most cities, ferry boats are one of the most commonly used means of travel, along with rail and bus lines. There is a contrast between the grandeur of the historic buildings as seen from the water and the unpleasantness of disembarking from the ferry, which berths at a small shed-like structure on the edge of the water which has old tires attached to piles driven into the bank of the Golden Horn. Some distance away there is a bus terminal and train stop. The paths of travel between these are uncl

Abstract:
Articular stiffness is an important symptom in most arthritic diseases and appears to be a useful marker of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis. Attempts to obtain a reliable objective measure of articular stiffness span the last 30 years but a meaningful measure of this symptom remains elusive. A number of reasons have been suggested to explain the discrepancy between objective and subjective stiffness in arthritis and these can be summarised as: a semeiological confusion, aberrant mechano-receptor thresholds and concurrent muscle wasting. This thesis examines each of these hypotheses. S

Asphalt joints are inevitable parts of every pavement. They are constructed for different reasons. Although much attention is dedicated to the construction joints (hot with hot pavement), a scientific approach for cold joints (cold with hot pavement) with respect to large patch constructions is still missing.

Rock joint surface roughness is characterized by using statistical parameters and fractal parameters estimated by various methods. It was found that at least two parameters are required to quantify joint surface roughness. By limiting only to statistical parameters, an average I angle is suggested to capture the large-scale undulations (non-stationary part of roughness) and Z₂' is suggested to capture the small-scale roughness (stationary part of roughness). Fractal parameters estimated by different method were used to describe the stationary part of surface roughness. Relation between fractal

Abstract:
Complex systems composed of many substructures include various structural joints connecting the substructures together. These mechanical connections play a significant role in predicting the dynamic characteristics of the assembled systems accurately. Therefore, equivalent dynamic models of joints that consist of stiffness and damping elements should be developed and the joint parameters should be determined for an accurate vibration analysis. Since it is difficult to estimate joint parameters accurately by using a pure analytical approach, it is a general practice to use experimental measurem

Abstract:
Bolted joints provide one of the most common means of joining two structural components together. The joints themselves use friction to transmit force, torque and motion across a common interface from one component to another. In many cases a pretensioned bolt, running through a common hole at the joint interface, provides the clamping force. The friction force at a joint interface is highly nonlinear. This makes the analysis of dynamic systelTIS with joints unrealistic with conventional linear techniques. It has also been shown that the contact pressure at a joint interface is not necessarily

This thesis is concerned with an experimental investigation of the behaviour of lapped joints in reinforced concrete. A review of existing literature highlights the need to establish the longitudinal strain distribution along lap joints. This has been achieved experimentally, with detailed strain measurements being taken using a technique of internally gauging the reinforcing rods. In some specimens, strain concentration gauges were installed at the tip of the lap to permit the acquisition of particularly localised information.

Rail joints have been in existence for a long time of which their design has remained primarily unchanged over this period. Rail joints are a typical example of bolted joints. Like other bolted joints, their integrity depends on the quantitative representation of the contact pressure distribution at the interface during design. In service, rail joints are subjected to complex operating stresses, and they demand high maintenance cost because they are safety critical and have the lowest service life of the components on the rail tracks.

This may be the consequence of poor adhesion, environmental degradation or impact damage.
