The main goal of this study was to perform a fatigue analysis and compare the results for different materials. A 72 years old patient was chosen and his hip radiographic/CT scan images were used to construct the geometry. We used four different material including Titanium, Titanium alloy, Cobalt-Chrome, and Stainless steel. The material characteristics of these prostheses were extracted from the literature. All models were exported to ANSYS software for mathematical analysis and the Von-Mises criteria, deformations, and the fatigue life were calculated for each material. Our findings showed that titanium prosthesis tolerated the lowest stress (i.e., 591 MPa for static, and 687 MPa for fatigue loading) and highest safety factor (i.e., 1.54). We found out that Titanium material could be used as the most appropriate one for the hip prosthesis due to lower stress concentration and longer life compared to other materials.

Quantum technology exploits fragile quantum electronic phenomena whose energy scales demand ultra-low electron temperature operation. The lack of electron-phonon coupling at cryogenic temperatures makes cooling the electrons down to a few tens of millikelvin a non-trivial task, requiring extensive efforts on thermalization and filtering high-frequency noise. Existing techniques employ bulky and heavy cryogenic metal-powder filters, which prove ineffective at sub-GHz frequency regimes and unsuitable for high-density quantum circuits such as spin qubits.

This study analyzes the influences of surface reactions on the natural convective flow, temperature, and oxygen concentration distributions in vertically placed multilayered cavities. A mathematical model for this problem is formulated with proper boundary conditions. At first, the governing equations are made dimensionless using the variable transformations.

In order to systematically study the bending behavior of the connection joints of the disc-buckle type formwork support, the accurate numerical model of the disc-buckle type connection joints was obtained through the experimental on the bending behavior of the connection joints of the disc-buckle type, and the bending moment-rotation curve of the joints was verified. The analysis of the failure mode and stress distribution of the joints reveals the importance of the bending behavior of each component. By establishing an accurate numerical model of the joint, the accuracy of the bending experiment of the joint was verified, and the parametric analysis of the influence factors such as the depth of the wedge insertion the disk-plate, the initial position of the wedge insertion the disk-plate, the thickness of the wedge, material constitutive of the wedge and the thickness of the disk-plate was carried out to grasp the influence of the relevant parameters on the bending behavior of the joint.

Objective: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique used for lung imaging. A significant challenge in EIT is reconstructing images of deeper thoracic regions due to the low sensitivity of boundary voltages to internal conductivity variations. The current injection pattern is decisive as it influences the current path, boundary voltages, and their sensitivity to tissue changes.

Respiratory diseases represent a significant healthcare burden, as evidenced by the devastating impact of COVID-19. Biophysical models offer the possibility to anticipate system behavior and provide insights into physiological functions, advancements which are comparatively and notably nascent when it comes to pulmonary mechanics research. In this context, an Inverse Finite Element Analysis (IFEA) pipeline is developed to construct the first continuously ventilated three-dimensional structurally representative pulmonary model informed by both organ- and tissue-level breathing experiments from a cadaveric human lung.
