Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Structures of Solids02:22

Structures of Solids

Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...
Unit Cells01:18

Unit Cells

A crystal's internal structure is an orderly array of atoms, ions, or molecules, and the details of this array significantly influence the solid's properties. In a crystal, periodically repeating 'structural motifs' - which could be atoms, molecules, or groups thereof - create a 'space lattice.' This is essentially a three-dimensional, infinite array of points, each surrounded by its neighbors in an identical way, forming the basic structure of the crystal.A 'unit cell' is a theoretical...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.
Indeterminate Structure01:18

Indeterminate Structure

Indeterminate structures refer to structures where internal forces and reactions cannot be determined using only the equations of static equilibrium.  Indeterminate structures have more unknown forces and reaction forces than equations of static equilibrium that can be used to determine them. Indeterminate structures are often used in engineering to create complex, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing structures. There are various types of indeterminate structures used in engineering and some...
Lattice Energies of Ionic Crystals01:27

Lattice Energies of Ionic Crystals

Lattice energy represents the energy released when gaseous cations and anions combine to form an ionic solid, reflecting the strength of electrostatic interactions within the crystal. This process is fundamentally governed by Coulombic attraction between oppositely charged ions, where the potential energy varies inversely with the interionic distance and directly with the product of ionic charges. As ions approach one another, the electrostatic energy becomes increasingly negative, indicating a...

The basic lattice stitch significantly reduces tissue tension during wound closure compared to simple interrupted stitches. This method is ideal for atrophic skin and high-tension repairs, promoting better healing outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Wound healing research
  • Surgical techniques
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • The basic lattice stitch is a proposed effective method for repairing atrophic skin and wounds under significant tension.
  • Understanding tension distribution is crucial for optimizing wound repair outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of the basic lattice stitch in dispersing tissue tension against the simple interrupted stitch.
  • To evaluate the potential benefits of reduced tension, such as fewer tissue tears and improved healing.

Main Methods:

  • Closure forces were measured on structural components of the basic lattice stitch in 21 repairs.
  • Tensions ranged from 0.3 to 4.0 N.
  • These forces were compared to those generated by a simple interrupted stitch.

Main Results:

  • The basic lattice stitch demonstrated a 54.4 ± 3.2% reduction in tissue tension in the perpendicular plane of closure.
  • This reduction was statistically significant (p<.005).

Conclusions:

  • The basic lattice stitch effectively distributes tissue tension away from the perpendicular plane of wound closure.
  • It is recommended for closures under tension and for atrophic skin repair to enhance wound healing.
