Abstract:
Axisymmetric finite element modeling of bolted joints was performed to show the effects of the magnitude and position of the external load, member thickness, and member material on the bolt and member stiffnesses. The member stiffness of the bolted joint was found to decrease 10 to 42 percent for the 20-mm to 8-mm bolts, respectively, as the magnitude of the external load was increased. Member stiffness appears to be independent of the radial location of the external load and increases as the member thickness decreases. Member stiffness decreased by a factor of 2.5 to 3 with a change in the me

ABSTRACTChang explicit method (2007) has been shown to be unconditionally stable for a linear elastic system and any instantaneous stiffness softening system while it is only conditionally stable for any instantaneous stiffness hardening system. Its coefficients of the difference equation for displacement increment are functions of initial tangent stiffness. Since Chang explicit method is unconditionally stable for a linear elastic system and any instantaneous stiffness softening system, its stability range can be enlarged if the initial tangent stiffness is enlarged by an amplification factor

The Comprehensive Handle Evaluation System for Fabrics and Yarns (CHES-FY) is capable of measuring multiple physical and mechanical properties of fabrics, which are related to fabric handle. In this study, ten curve parameters were defined from the pulling-out force–displacement curve of the CHES-FY. Factor analysis was used to remove the co linearity of the curve parameters in order to better characterize the stiffness handle of fabrics. Three principal factors were established using the factor analysis, and the first principal factor was termed the stiffness index based on loadings of the cu

Abstract:
During manipulation, force is exerted with the expectation that an object will move in an intended manner. This prediction is a learned coordination between force and movement. Mechanically, impedance is a way to describe this coordination, and object interaction could be anticipated by setting impedance before the hand moves the object. This strategy would be especially important at the end of a reach, because feedback is ineffective for rapid force changes. Since mechanical impedance is not subject to the time delays of feedback, it can, if set properly, produce the desired motion on impact.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the development of artificial disc technology for the replacement of intervertebral discs in the human lumbar spine. The clinical problem is back pain. There may be a relationship between certain forms of back pain and disc degeneration. The mechanical properties of human intervertebral discs are examined in detail. The genetic basis of disc degeneration is presented. The hypothesis is that such degeneration leads to a loss of normal stiffness in the segments affected leading to abnormal mechanical behaviour which in turn leads to pain. The evidence for this is presented.

Abstract:
Increased salt consumption is believed to induce high blood pressure (BP)-mediated organ damage, although it is not yet clear whether it reflects a generalized micro- and macrovascular malfunction independent of BP. Exceeding dietary sodium intake is acknowledged to be the main modifiable environmental risk factor for cardiovascular events that accounts for an increase in blood pressure and induces hypertension (HTN)-related target organ damage. Arterial stiffness is well known as an independent cardiovascular risk factor, and sodium intake may be a determinant of arterial stiffness. Even so, the studies that investigated the effect of dietary sodium reduction intake on arterial stiffness in humans provided inconclusive results. Therefore, we aim to perform a review of the available evidence of salt restriction and arterial stiffness and its impact on hypertensive patients.

Abstract:
Clinical osteoarthritis (OA) is a syndrome of joint pain associated with structural deterioration of synovial joints that over time involves the whole joint organ. It is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of chronic pain, disability, and socioeconomic burden. Affected individuals report pain (especially on weight bearing) and joint stiffness leading to loss of muscle strength and poor joint function. This results in reduced participation in valued activities, low mood, sleep disturbance, and poor quality of life. The aetiology of joint deterioration, pain, and the interaction of the two remains unclear. OA is associated with a variety of both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors including obesity, age, gender, occupational injury, trauma, and genetic predisposition. Obesity is the strongest potentially modifiable risk factor.

Abstract:
Musculoskeletal problems are common, affecting up to one in five people. People with musculoskeletal problems are frequently admitted to hospital and it is important for nurses working in hospital ambulatory care, emergency care, and on wards to understand the nature of musculoskeletal conditions in order to provide high-quality care. Patients may present with an acute medical or surgical illness, trauma, or bone disease (e.g. osteoporosis, degenerative arthritis, or inflammatory arthritis). A range of drugs treatments are given to improve symptoms of pain and stiffness. Drugs for inflammatory arthritis are given to modify the immune system, such as methotrexate or biologics (e.g. tumour necrosis factor inhibitors). Patients can be very disabled by their musculoskeletal condition and they have specific care needs. Safety during hospitalization and on discharge is important and key aspects are covered in this chapter.

Abstract:
The main forms of inflammatory arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. They are long-term disorders and consequently their prevalence increases with age; the lifetime risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis is over 3% in women. Their characteristic features comprise joint pain, swelling, and tenderness, morning stiffness, and general symptoms such as malaise. Polyarthritis is commoner in rheumatoid arthritis. The ESR and C-reactive protein levels are high in active arthritis. The main radiological finding is erosive disease. Symptomatic treatment includes analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Disease-modifying drugs (DMARDs) change the course of these diseases; their main use is in rheumatoid arthritis. Biologic drugs help when other treatments are insufficient; they include tumour necrosis factor inhibitors which benefit all types of inflammatory arthritis, and other biologics targeting B- and T-cells are mainly used in rheumatoid arthritis. The risks of adverse events and drug toxicity are higher in elderly patients.

Abstract:
Abstract The stiffness of a spur gear tooth mesh controls load sharing in an operating gearset as well as vibratory properties which further dictate fatigue resistance and gear noise. A spur gear mesh consisting of a pinion with a single cracked tooth and an uncracked gear is considered. Expressions are presented which allow the determination of stress intensity factors for small through face width fatigue cracks in spur gear teeth. Predictions of tooth pair stiffness for a cracked pinion tooth and uncracked gear tooth pair are made using an analytical model. The model is based on elastic ener

Abstract:
An API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Failure Assessment Diagram based Fitness-for-Service assessment was carried out on an embedded crack-like flaw found in a nozzle to shell weld in a pressure vessel. Stress intensity factors were initially calculated by utilizing stress results from a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of an uncracked configuration, with the standard embedded crack stress intensity factor solution given in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. Due to the complex nozzle geometry and flaw size, a second analysis was carried out, incorporating a crack into the FEA model, to calculate the stress intensity factor

Abstract:
An analytical model of a composite structure consisting of an F2MC tube embedded in epoxy is used to study the impact of confining structural media on the ability of F2MC tubes to pump fluid and change stiffness. The surrounding stiff epoxy reduces the performance relative to an isolated F2MC tube, but this disadvantage can be minimized by tailoring the tube wall thickness and fiber angle. The composite can pump 250 times more fluid than a piston of the same diameter if the F2MC tube has a thick shell wall and a near-axial fiber orientation. With a moderately thick wall and low fiber angle, th
