Abstract:

The pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera or the black-lipped oyster is one of the important species used in the pearl industry. The availability of natural pearl oyster seeds is limited, while exploitation is increasing. The purpose of this field work practice is to measure and observe the morphometric comparisons of Arakan, Mantehage Bango and Talengen waters. The time for the implementation of the field work practice begins in January 2020. This field work practice is carried out at the Mamuaya family work laboratory, Malalayang. The method used in this field work practice is a method of dire

The influence of shell availability and selection on shell use was dependent on crab species.

By experimental methods, 26 specimens were designed to conduct elastic and elastic–plastic buckling tests on cylindrical shells containing cracks. This study discusses the influence of factors such as the length–diameter ratio, the diameter–thickness ratio, the crack length, the inclination of the crack, etc., on the buckling load. Additionally, finite element models were established to compare with experimental results. For the PMMA cylindrical shell, the results showed that as the length–diameter ratio of the cylindrical shell increased, the buckling load first decreased and then increased.

ABSTRACT Much of the contribution of bivalves to paleoecology is based on the fraction preserved whole. The use of fragments has been limited by the inability to reconstruct the whole shell. For this study, shells of selected species were broken, metrics obtained for shell reconstruction, and a stepwise model developed and tested to evaluate the potential of reconstructing whole shells from fragments. The model is based on the facts that shell thickness is well correlated with shell length, width, and weight, that fragments can be assigned to shell areas, and that each shell area can be matche

Abstract:

The internal shock loading of cylindrical shells can be represented as a step load advancing at constant speed. Several analytical models are available to calculate the structural response of shells to this type of loading. These models show that the speed of the shock wave is an important parameter. In fact, for a linear model of a shell of infinite length, the amplitude of the radial deflection becomes unbounded when the speed of the shock wave is equal to a critical velocity. It is evident that simple (static) design formulas are no longer accurate in this case. The present paper deals with

Abstract:

Comparison of early shell morphological features of six mytilids from the north-western Atlantic revealed differences useful for species identification and classification. Brachidontes exustus, lschadium recurvum, Geukensia demissa, Amygdalum papyrium, Mytilus edulis, and Modiolus modiolus larvae and post-larvae were cultured in the laboratory. Scanning electron micrographs of the shell and hinge during early ontogenetic stages showed that all species had a long provinculum with taxodont dentition. In addition, provinculum length and number of teeth increased during the larval period in the si

Abstract:

Asymmetric sculpture in the form of tubercles or ridges on the shells of large (mean shell length ~60 mm) turritelliform gastropods has previously been shown to enhance efficiency of the shell as a penetration anchor in burrowing through coarse sediment. The small (<8 mm) turritelliform shells of all species of Argyropeza (Family Cerithiidae) have both of these ratchetlike sculptural features. Four lines of evidence from Lower Pleistocene A. divina and A. schepmaniana from Fiji support the interpretation that they help resist back-slippage: cross-orientation, frictional asymmetry, allometri

The left appendages are longer and heavier than theright, and they extend further laterally from the midline during their stride, thus compensating for the asymmetry of the crab which has a dextrally coiled shell and anabdomen displaced to the right.

Abstract For numerous shelly invertebrates, Cope’s rule is shown in this paper to merely describe the particular case where volume increase is strictly coupled with diameter or length. Allometries, which are frequently observed in the evolution of the shells’ geometry, mean that their size, volume and surface can vary independently. The consequences of this can be summarized as follows : 1) volume increase not coupled with an increase of diameter or length of the organisms generates increasing involution and/or lateral width in the shell of cephalopods, foraminifera and radiolarians ; 2) an in

Here, we use stable oxygen and carbon isotope sclerochronology to investigate the horse conch’s life history, including its maximum life span, growth rates, age at first spawning, and number of l

This paper is devoted to the buckling problem of the composite cylindrical shell subjected to hydrostatic pressure. Both analytical and numerical methods are applied to investigate the buckling behavior. Based on the study of analytical formulas, it is found that the composite cylindrical shells with the same length-to-diameter ratio, diameter-to-thickness ratio, and type of layup have the same buckling pressure. Thus, a scale model experiment method is then proposed, which uses the scale model to replace the full-scale model in pressure test experiment to reduce the manufacturing cost of the
