Design optimization of cruciform specimens for biaxial fatigue loading

Com o apoio RAADRI. ; In order to correctly assess the biaxial fatigue material properties one must experimentally test different load conditions and stress levels. With the rise of new in-plane biaxial fatigue testing machines, using smaller and more efficient electrical motors, instead of the conventional hydraulic machines, it is necessary to reduce the specimen size and to ensure that the specimen geometry...

A Comparison of Shear Mechanisms for the Prediction of Ductile Failure under Lo...

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to perform a numerical assessment of two recently proposed extensions of the Gurson-Tveegard-Needleman ductile damage constitutive model under low stress triaxiality. Design/methodology/ approach - One of the most widely used ductile damage models is the so-called Gurson-Tveegard-Needleman model, commonly known as GTN model. The GTN model has embedded into its damage formu...

Improvement of adynamic bone disease after renal transplantation

Low bone remodeling and relatively low serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels characterize adynamic bone disease (ABD). The impact of renal transplantation (RT) on the course of ABD is unknown. We studied prospectively 13 patients with biopsy-proven ABD after RT. Bone histomorphometry and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were performed in the 1st and 12th months after RT. Serum PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ...

In vivo antithrombotic properties of a heparin from the oocyte test cells of th...

In the ascidian Styela plicata, the oocytes are surrounded by two types of accessory cells named follicle cells and test cells. A heparin-like substance with an anticoagulant activity equivalent to 10% of mammalian heparin and about 5% as potent as the mammalian counterpart for the inhibition of thrombin by antithrombin was isolated from the oocyte test cells. In the present study, we compared the antithromboti...

Chronic excitotoxic lesion of the dorsal raphe nucleus induces sodium appetite

We determined if the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) exerts tonic control of basal and stimulated sodium and water intake. Male Wistar rats weighing 300-350 g were microinjected with phosphate buffer (PB-DRN, N = 11) or 1 µg/0.2 µl, in a single dose, ibotenic acid (IBO-DRN, N = 9 to 10) through a guide cannula into the DRN and were observed for 21 days in order to measure basal sodium appetite and water intake and i...

Effect of electrolytic lesion of the dorsal raphe nucleus on water intake and s...

The present study determined the effect of an electrolytic lesion of the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) on water intake and sodium appetite. Male Wistar rats weighing 290-320 g with a lesion of the DRN (L-DRN), performed two days before experiments and confirmed by histology at the end of the experiments, presented increased sensitivity to the dehydration induced by fluid deprivation. The cumulative water intake of...
