IDENTIFICATION OF FLUTTER DERIVATIVES BY FORCED VIBRATION TESTS

Identification of flutter derivatives by forced vibration tests

Results of an experimental study related to flutter phenomenon are presented in the paper.Two cross-sections are considered: a rectangular cross-section and a typical symmetric bridge cross-section.Stationary coefficients cbb5 and instationary flutter derivatives are determined by means of forced vibration tests.The identification technique is pres

Oxygen-enriched oleic matrix (NovoX) for wound healing in pediatric patients undergoing open surgical treatment for pilonidal disease: Preliminary experience

IntroductionPilonidal disease (PD) is a common infectious and inflammatory condition affecting the gluteal cleft and sacrococcygeal region.The optimal treatment for PD remains controversial.While the open technique reduces the number of relapses compared to minimally invasive approaches, it is associated with a longer healing time.Reactive oxygen s

Mechanisms of Silica Fracture in Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions

Glassy silicates are substantially weaker when in contact with aqueous electrolyte solutions than in vacuum due to chemical interactions with preexisting cracks.To investigate this silicate weakening phenomenon, classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of silica fracture were performed using the bond-order based, reactive force field Nightshir
