Reliability analysis using object-oriented constrained optimization
Bak Kong Low,Wilson H. Tang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a constrained optimization of the equivalent hyperellipsoid (yielding the reliability index) in the original space is presented for reliability analysis involving correlated nonnormals.

Retention of the posterior cruciate in total knee arthroplasty
TL;DR: The authors argue that the posterior cruciate ligament improves passive range of motion, the mechanical efficiency of the knee musculature and thus improved stairclimbing efficiency, reduces stress at the cement-bone-implant interfaces, and has little or no impact on the polyethylene wear problems.

The relation between single crystal elasticity and the effective elastic behaviour of polycrystalline materials: theory, measurement and computation
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the anisotropic properties of individual grains and the effective elastic behavior of polycrystalline materials is investigated. But the authors focus on the relation between the (anisotropic) properties of grain sizes and the effect of microstructure when studying the mechanical behavior.

Electrostatic correction of structural imperfections present in a microring gyroscope
TL;DR: In this article, the mass and stiffness perturbations are combined to form a structural imperfection, which is shown to be determinable from Nyquist plots of the frequency response functions.

Resilin and chitinous cuticle form a composite structure for energy storage in jumping by froghopper insects
TL;DR: Calculations showed that the resilin itself could only store 1% to 2% of the energy required for jumping, and the stiffer cuticular parts of the pleural arches could, however, easily meet all the energy storage needs.
