To develop a model to test cyclic fatigue resistance of TruNatomy instruments undergoing rotational and axial movement at body temperature. A total of 288 Prime and Medium instruments were subjected to cyclic fatigue testing in simulated canals (at 37°C) using a model with either rotational movement only or rotational and axial movement simultaneously. Two different sized canals and three different types of curvatures were tested for each instrument (30/0.04 and 30/0.06 for Prime; 38/0.04 and 40/0.06 for Medium). The number of cycles to failure (fatigue resistance) was recorded. Rotational and axial movement of instruments led to greater fatigue resistance compared with rotational movement alone. Apical curvatures led to greater fatigue resistance than curvatures in the coronal and middle third. The developed dynamic model at body temperature to evaluate fatigue resistance of instrument closer simulates clinical scenarios.

Understanding the dynamic response of granular shear zones under cyclic loading is fundamental to elucidating the mechanisms triggering earthquake-induced landslides, with implications for broader fields such as seismology and granular physics. Existing prediction methods struggle to accurately predict many experimental and in situ landslide observations due to inadequate consideration of the underlying physical mechanisms. The mechanisms that influence landslide dynamic triggering, a transition from static (or extremely slow creeping) to rapid runout, remain elusive.

A styrene-glycidylmethacrylate-1-allyl-3-vinylimidazole epoxy functionalized ionomer (EFI) was synthesized, and the EFI and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were co-introduced into poly(lactide)/poly(butylene-adipate-co-terephtalate) (PLA/PBAT) blends to fabricate high performance composites with excellent mechanical properties, fatigue-resistance and dielectric properties. It is revealed that EFI can improve the interaction force between PLA and PBAT by inducing the interfacial crosslink reaction, thereby improving the melt strength of the samples. EFI can also refine the dispersion of CNT in the composites owing to the non-covalent force between EFI and CNT, promote the formation of filler network inside composites, which is demonstrated by DMA and rheological test results.

J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024-This study assessed the effects of percentage-based training (%1RM), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), repetitions in reserve (RIR), and velocity-based training (VBT) on (a) acute kinematic outputs, perceptions of effort, and changes in neuromuscular function during resistance training; and (b) neuromuscular fatigue and perceptions of soreness 24 hours after exercise.

Assessment of diaphragm function and fatigue typically relies on the measurement of transdiaphragmatic pressure (P). Although P serves as an index of diaphragm force output, it provides limited information regarding the ability of the muscle to shorten and generate power. We asked whether ultrasonography, combined with P, could be used to quantify changes in diaphragm function attributable to fatigue.

Hydrogel indicators promise to monitor food spoilage, but their poor mechanics can cause defects in transport. Herein, a novel zwitterionic double network (DN) hydrogel was developed by polymerizing arylamide and sulfobetaine methacrylate in an alginate-Ca system. This hydrogel exhibited enhanced mechanical properties, including a maximum 2087 % breaking elongation and 135 ± 12 kJ/m toughness, significantly outperforming the current zwitterionic DN hydrogels, which typically exhibit less than 1800 % breaking elongation, capable of supporting 150 g-136 times its own weight.
