This paper presents forced vibration analysis of a simply supported beam made of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite material subjected to a harmonic point load at the midpoint of beam. The composite beam is made of a polymeric matrix and reinforced the single-walled carbon nanotubes with their various distributions. In the beam kinematics, the first-order shear deformation beam theory was used. The governing equations of problem were derived by using the Lagrange procedure. In the solution of the problem, the Ritz method was used, and algebraic polynomials were employed with the trivial functions for the Ritz method. In the solution of the forced vibration problem, the Newmark average acceleration method was applied in the time history. In the numerical examples, the effects of carbon nanotube volume fraction, aspect ratio, and dynamic parameters on the forced vibration response of carbon nanotube-reinforced composite beams are investigated. In addition, some comparison studies were performed, with special results of published papers to validate the using formulations.

Different angles and central axis length combinations of the reading man flap were studied to determine the optimal angles and central axis length combinations for reducing the stress on the flap tip. First, different models and corresponding finite element models of flaps with different angles and central axial lengths were established by ANSYS software. Then, skin flap transfer was achieved through forced displacement, and the stress distributions of the flap with different angles and central axial lengths under different materials were obtained.

Introduction: Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) often involve mucus hypersecretion. Thus, management of sputum retention is critical. However, the use of airway clearance techniques (ACTs) in people with AECOPD across different healthcare settings and factors influencing their selection remain unclear.

Milling chatter, a form of self-excited vibration, can cause significant damage in machining and manufacturing processes. By selecting appropriate milling parameters, milling chatter can be effectively mitigated without sacrificing milling efficiency. Within the framework of the semi-discretization scheme, this paper introduces the Newton-Simpson-based predictor-corrector methods to compute milling stability lobe diagrams.

Examination of Proprioceptive Reliance During Backward Walking in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how proprioception affects backward walking (BW) compared to forward walking (FW) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), noting that MS patients have slowed sensory conduction, increasing their fall risk.
  • - Fifty participants were tested for proprioception using vibration sensation as a measure while walking both backward and forward at different speeds, with findings highlighting a stronger link between proprioceptive abilities and BW.
  • - Results show fallers (MS individuals who have experienced falls) had worse proprioception than non-fallers, emphasizing the need for targeted fall risk assessments and interventions that focus on improving proprioception, particularly in the context of BW.

Cultured cells biochemically respond to mechanical vibrations. However, the mechanisms of sensing mechanical vibrations and transducing biochemical responses remain unclear. A previous study reported that the expression of the alkaline phosphatase gene of osteoblastic cell under mechanical vibrations peaks at 50 Hz, which seems like a resonance curve in the mechanical vibration theory.
