An assessment of two fundamental flat triangular shell elements with drilling rotations
(2000)An approach for adding drilling rotations to the constant strain triangle, such that the added rotation stiffness contributes a minimum to the strain energy of the triangle is presented. The element is combined with a ... -
The Effect of Certain Morphological Features on the Permeability of Clustered Fibrous Media
(2009)A good understanding of the microscopic details of flow through fiber preforms remains a critical step in the design and optimization of composite liquid molding processes such as Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) and its ... -
Impact of the metabolic syndrome and its components combinations on arterial stiffness in Type 2 diabetic men
(2009)Aim. Arterial stiffness (AS) is a risk marker of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, yet its association with metabolic syndrome (MS) in diabetic patients is not established. The aim of this study was to investigate ... -
Impaired elastic properties of ascending aorta in patients with giant cell arteritis
(2005)Objective: To investigate the elastic properties of the ascending aorta in untreated patients with giant cell arteritis compared with age and sex matched normal controls. Methods: Distensibility of the ascending aorta and ... -
An ultrasound wearable system for the monitoring and acceleration of fracture healing in long bones
(2005)An ultrasound wearable system for remote monitoring and acceleration of the healing process in fractured long bones is presented. The so-called USBone system consists of a pair of ultrasound transducers, implanted into the ...
