Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity01:15

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

311
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.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Structural Classification of Joints01:20

Structural Classification of Joints

3.7K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.
A fibrous joint is where the adjacent bones are united by fibrous connective...

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete01:16

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete

459
The dynamic modulus of elasticity assesses how a concrete structure deforms under impact or dynamic loads. It is typically higher than the static modulus of elasticity, measured under slow, steady loading conditions.
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by...

Residual Stresses in Bending01:18

Residual Stresses in Bending

222
In the study of elastoplastic members subjected to bending moments, understanding the loading and unloading phases is crucial for assessing material behavior and structural integrity. During the loading phase, as the bending moment increases, the material initially responds elastically, adhering to Hooke's Law, where stress is directly proportional to strain. When the load exceeds the yield strength, plastic deformation occurs, resulting in permanent strain and deformation that remains even...

Stresses under Combined Loadings

219
When analyzing a bent tube with a circular cross-section subjected to multiple forces, it is crucial to determine the stress distribution in order to maintain structural integrity under varied load conditions.
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Kinesiology
  • Sports Science

Background:

  • Joint stiffness is vital for characterizing leg function in activities like drop jumps.
  • Traditional linear models may not fully capture complex joint angle-moment relationships.
  • The eccentric phase of movement involves distinct loading and attenuation sub-phases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of quadratic versus linear regression models for calculating lower extremity joint stiffness.
  • To investigate the benefits of using a quadratic model when subdividing the eccentric phase of a drop jump.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty healthy college students performed drop jumps from a 30-cm platform.
  • The eccentric phase was divided into loading and attenuation phases based on ground reaction force.
  • Linear and quadratic models were used to calculate hip, knee, and ankle joint stiffness for each phase.

Main Results:

  • The quadratic model demonstrated a significantly better goodness-of-fit (r², RMSE) for all lower extremity joints compared to the linear model.
  • The quadratic model identified significant differences in joint stiffness between the loading and attenuation phases for the hip and knee.
  • Quadratic regression provided a more accurate representation of the angle-moment relationship during the drop jump's eccentric phases.

Conclusions:

  • A 2nd order polynomial (quadratic) regression model is superior to a linear model for assessing lower extremity joint stiffness during drop jumps.
  • Subdividing the eccentric phase and employing a quadratic model enhances the understanding of joint mechanics, particularly for the hip and knee.
