Bone fracture identification in x-ray images using fuzzy wavelet features
(2019)The fracture detection process is difficult and requires specialized knowledge of the anatomical structures of the area under consideration. X-ray imaging provides images of the body's internal structures. Despite the rapid ... -
CER1 gene variations associated with bone mineral density, bone markers, and early menopause in postmenopausal women
(2013)Background: Osteoporosis has a multifactorial pathogenesis characterized by a combination of low bone mass and increased fragility. In our study, we focused on the effects of polymorphisms in CER1 and DKK1 genes, recently ... -
Corrosion-induced hydrogen embrittlement in aluminum alloy 2024
(2005)Corrosion is a major concern to the structural integrity of aging aircraft structures. The effect of corrosion on the damage tolerance ability of advanced aluminum alloys calls for consideration of the problems associated ... -
The elastic-plastic indentation response of a columnar thermal barrier coating
(2010)Thermal barrier coatings with a columnar microstructure are prone to erosion damage by a mechanism of surface cracking upon impact by small foreign particles. In order to explore this erosion mechanism, the elastic indentation ... -
Explainable Fuzzy Texture Words Model for Automatic Bone Fracture Identification
(2021)The examination and interpretation of X-ray images is a time-consuming process that requires manual examination of bones for a fracture diagnosis. In this study, we propose a novel feature extraction and classification ... -
Exploitation of the TRIP effect for the development of formable, fracture and fatigue resistant steels for automotive applications
(2009)The present paper summarizes recent and on-going work on the exploitation of TRansformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP) in an effort to develop automotive steels which would possess high-strength combined with high formability ... -
Failure analysis of an aluminum extrusion aircraft wing component
(2016)Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to deal with the failure analysis of a fractured spar stiffener, extruded from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, which was found in the central wing, trailing edge structure of a military ... -
Fatigue crack growth assessment of corroded aluminum alloys
(2009)The fatigue crack growth behaviour of pre-corroded aluminum alloy has been investigated analytically. For this purpose the fatigue crack growth LTSM-F model has been implemented and upgraded to account for the local material ... -
Low Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Plastically Pre-Strained HSLA S355MC and S460MC Steels
(2022)Cold roll forming used in the manufacturing of lightweight steel profiles for racking storage systems is associated with localized, non-uniform plastic deformations in the corner sections of the profiles, which act as ... -
Novel Sequence Variations in the CER1 Gene Are Strongly Associated with Low Bone Mineral Density and Risk of Osteoporotic Fracture in Postmenopausal Women
(2012)Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disease characterized by a combination of low bone mass and increased fragility. In this case-control study, we investigated the possible association of two novel candidate genes, CER1 and ... -
Numerical simulation of buried steel pipelines under strike-slip fault displacements
(2011)The paper examines the structural response of buried butt-welded steel pipelines, crossing active strike-slip tectonic faults, which are vertical and perpendicular to the pipeline axis. The interacting soil-pipeline system ... -
Patients Undergoing Surgery for Hip Fractures Suffer from Severe Oxidative Stress as Compared to Patients with Hip Osteoarthritis Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty
(2021)Hip fractures are associated with the highest degree of morbidity and mortality of all fractures in elderly patients and pose a major risk for subsequent fractures. Patients with hip fractures also present accelerated bone ... -
Shear strengthening of concrete members with TRM jackets: Effect of shear span-to-depth ratio, material and amount of external reinforcement
(2018)An experimental work on reinforced concrete (RC) rectangular beams strengthened in shear with textile reinforced mortar (TRM) jackets is presented in this paper, with focus on the following investigated parameters: (a) the ... -
A simple and efficient model for seismic response and low-cycle fatigue assessment of uplifting liquid storage tanks
(2018)Ground-supported unanchored liquid-storage cylindrical tanks, when subjected to strong seismic loading may exhibit uplifting of their bottom plate, which may have significant effects on their dynamic behavior and structural ... -
Simplified model for the seismic performance of unanchored liquid storage tanks
(2015)Ground-supported unanchored liquid-storage cylindrical tanks, when subjected to strong seismic loading may exhibit uplifting of their bottom plate, which has significant effects on their dynamic behavior and strength. Those ... -
Steel elbow response under strong cyclic loading
(2012)The present study examines the behavior of steel pipeline elbows subjected to strong cyclic loading conditions. A set of experiments is conducted where in-plane cyclic bending with constant amplitude is applied on the elbow ...
