The material mismatch at the attachment of tendon to bone is amongst the most severe for any tensile connection in nature. This is related to the large difference between the stiffness of tendon and bone, whose moduli of elasticity vary by two orders of magnitude. Predictably, such an abrupt change in the stiffness realized over a very narrow insertion site results in high local stresses. One of the implications of the stress distribution is a potential for stress singularities at the junction of the insertion to the bone.

AbstractA round-robin study has been carried out within a national project in Sweden with the addition of an international participant, where several industrial partners and universities are participating. The project aims to identify variation and sources of variation in welding production, map scatter in fatigue life estimation, and define and develop concepts to reduce these, in all steps of product development. The participating organisations were asked to carry out fatigue life assessment of welded box structures, which is a component in load-carrying structures. The estimations of fatigue life have also been compared with fatigue test results. Detailed drawings, loads and material data were also given to the participants. The participants were supposed to use assessment methods based on global and local stresses using the design codes or recommendations they currently use in-house. Differences were identified between both methods and participants using the same codes/recommendations. Applicability and conditions from the cases in the codes were also identified to be differently evaluated between the participants. It could be concluded that for the applied cases the nominal stress method often overestimated the fatigue life and had a high scatter in the estimations by different participants. The effective notch method is conservative in comparison to the life of tested components with little scatter between the results derived by the participants.

Fatigue cracking induced by vehicle load is a prevalent problem in orthotropic steel decks. In addition, pavement debonding in steel bridge decks is another familiar issue resulting from low slip resistance in the faying surface between the steel and asphalt concrete. The present study proposed a strengthening method that uses ultra-high performance concrete to stiffen a repeatedly maintained cable-stayed bridge in order to help address these two problems. The existing issues of the real bridge and the corresponding causes were investigated. Following this, an ultra-high performance concrete paving system was designed to improve the stiffness of the orthotropic steel decks. For this paving system, a 45-mm ultra-high performance concrete layer was connected to the deck by welded shear studs. The local stresses at the typical vulnerable fatigue cracking points were determined by means of a finite element model and of a field loading test to evaluate the strengthening effect. The results showed that this strengthening method can prevent the propagation of fatigue cracks. The local stresses of the U-ribs and diaphragms were reduced by 45.4% and 40.0%, respectively. The repaired bridge has sufficient resistance against fatigue cracking based on the in situ observations.

Probiotics are live microbes that assist in restoring the symbiotic intestinal gut flora balance and thus bestow health benefits to the host. The most commonly used human probiotics are members of the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species. Besides these bacteria, Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast strain, is also widely used as a probiotic to treat a variety of conditions, including antibiotics-associated diarrhea and recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. A primary advantage of using Saccharomyces boulardii as a probiotic is that it can be used by patients undergoing antibiotic regimen due to its natural resistance to antibiotics. The genetic transfer of antibiotic resistance genes, a frequent event between pathogenic and gastrointestinal tract (GIT) bacteria, is not as frequent between yeast and bacteria. Furthermore, Saccharomyces boulardii is also tolerant to various local stresses such as the presence of gastrointestinal (GI) enzymes, bile salts, organic acids, etc. and can withstand considerable variations in pH and temperature while transiting through the human GIT. Saccharomyces boulardii is known as generally regarded as safe (GRAS)with probiotic activity against a wide range of pathogens. This yeast is often marketed in a lyophilized form, “ S. boulardii lyo”, complete sequence of the genome was performed, and a comparative analysis of the genome was performed. From clinical studies, the results of randomized controlled trials in patients repeatedly confirmed the significant positive effect in the treatment of acute and chronic diseases.

The research of structural state at the indentation and scratch regions of the gradient coatings Ti-Al-Si-Cu-N was carried out with the use of dark field electron microscopy analysis method of the crystal lattice bending. It was found out that the strength properties of the substrate, which determine the degree of plastic relaxation of the applied load are significant for modifying the coating structure. The increase of the crystal lattice bending relative to undeformed state, the heterogeneity and anisotropy of its value relative to the point and axis of the load are found for the material under the indenter apex. The formation of the localized bands is shown, in which the increase of crystal sizes, decrease in the bending of the crystal lattice and residual local stresses were observed.

14 models of plate-reinforced connections are analyzed by finite element software ANSYS. Failure mode, hysteretic behavior, ductility and energy dissipation capacity are comparatively studied. Results show that plastic hinge formed at the end of the reinforced plate, hysteretic cruves are full and the connections have good ductility. With the increase in length and thickness of the reinforced plate, bearing capacity increases while hysteretic behavior and ductility factor decrease. If the reinforced plate is longer than the length that design requires, brittle failure occurs in the panel zone. The recommended length of the reinforced plate is defined as 0.5-0.8 times of beam depth, the thickness of flange-plate is 1.2-1.4 times of flange thickness and the thickness of cover-plate is 0.7-1.2 times of flange thickness.

A new technique for the simulation of microtexture evolution during cold deformation which is based on 2 dimensional (2D) dislocation dynamics is presented. In the simulation all involved dislocations are regarded as infinite straight line detects which are embedded in an otherwise isotropic linear elastic medium. As the model is 2D only edge dislocations are considered.In the first simulation step the net local stresses are derived and used to calculate the resulting dislocation motion. Dislocation multiplication, annihilation and reactions are taken into account. Thermal activation is included. In the second step the local misorientations arising from the dislocation distribution are calculated.This method shows in microscopic detail how misorientations are generated and distributed within grains during plastic deformation.
