In the present study the mechanical properties of microcrystalline cellulose compacts compressed were studied. The resistance to crushing was tested using diametral compression testing and apparent Young's modulus was determined using consecutive uniaxial compression of the full cross-sectional area of single tablets. As non-elastic deformation during the first compression cycle and reverse plasticity were discovered, the loading phase of the second compression cycle was used to determine Young's modulus. The relative standard deviation of 10 consecutive measurements was 3.6%. The results indicate a direct correlation between crushing strength and Young's modulus, which found further support when comparing surface roughness data and radial recovery of the tablets to Young's modulus. The extrapolated elastic modulus at zero-porosity was found to be 1.80±0.08 GPa, which is slightly lower than previously reported values, confirming the complexity of measuring the elastic properties of microcrystalline cellulose compacts. The method can be used for non-destructive assessment of mechanical properties of powder compacts for example during storage studies.

Unlabelled: The scientific and practical interest in studying the biomechanical characteristics of the lens capsule, on the one hand, is associated with its anatomical significance in modern microinvasive phaco surgery, and on the other hand, with investigation of the mechanisms of lens curvature changes during accommodation. Selective study of the biomechanical properties of the lens capsule aims to identify characteristics of various regions and surfaces of the capsule.
Purpose: This study is a comparative analysis of age-related changes in the biomechanical properties of the anterior (AC) and posterior (PC) lens capsules in humans.

The columnar joint skeleton of 3D printed Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) material, the skeleton of cement mortar and ultraviolet aging treatment are combined to pour the columnar joint rock mass (CJRM) test block. The strength, deformation, energy and failure modes of the specimens with different dip angles were analyzed by uniaxial compression test. The influence of joint skeleton on the strength of the test block was analyzed.

An efficient linear elastic iterative method is proposed for the stability ultimate capacity of equal-leg angle towers, using an elastic modulus adjustment strategy in this paper. The angle steel stability generalized yield function (GYF) of AS/NZS4600 is selected, on which a precise homogeneous generalized yield function (HGYF) is developed through dimensionless analysis and regression. Based on the HGYF, the element bearing ratio is proposed as a dynamic threshold for distinguishing high-stress and low-stress elements in equal-leg angle elements.

This study investigates the production of graphene-enhanced polyethylene terephthalate glycol (G-PETG) components using fused deposition modeling (FDM) and evaluates their mechanical properties, contributing to the advancement of additive manufacturing. Trials demonstrated notable improvements in mechanical performance, with optimal printing parameters identified using the Spice Logic Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The effectiveness of this methodology is further compared with the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) combined with the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS).
