Effect of Fiber Wrapping on Bending Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Filled Pultruded GFRP Composite Hybrid Beams.

The application of pultruded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in civil engineering is increasing as a high-performance structural element or reinforcing material for rehabilitation purposes. The advantageous aspects of the pultrusion production technique and the weaknesses arising from the 0° fiber orientation in the drawing direction should be considered. In this direction, it is thought that the structural performance of the profiles produced by the pultrusion technique can be increased with 90° windings by using different fiber types.

Comparison of stability of titanium and absorbable plate and screw fixation for mandibular angle fractures.

Objective: The purpose of this experimental study was to compare the stability of titanium and absorbable plate and screw fixation systems for mandibular angle fractures.

Study Design: Twenty-one sheep hemimandibles were used to evaluate 3 different plating techniques. The groups were fixated with a single titanium plate, a single absorbable plate and double absorbable plates.
