Abstract:
The intervertebral disc is at the center of the functioning of the human being Its biomecha- nical functions are very complex and their degradation may cause major issues for the patient. We present here a synthesis of the state of the art regarding the biomechanics of the lumbar disc as prospects of research and clinical applications coming from recent research done at the Institut de Biom6canique Humaine Georges Charpak.

Design Example: Calculating Safe Diameter for Wind-Exposed Disc
363
Assessing safety in wind-exposed installations is crucial to preventing potential failures. This example explores the calculation and design adjustments needed to mount a circular disc on a building facade, where wind forces are a primary concern. A 4-meter diameter disc was initially designed as an aesthetic feature facing winds at a velocity of 25 meters per second, with an air density of 1.25 kilograms per cubic meter. Given these conditions, the drag force on the disc was determined using...
