Creep in Concrete01:22

Creep in Concrete

200
Creep refers to the time-dependent increase in strain under a sustained load, excluding other time-dependent deformations associated with shrinkage, swelling, and thermal expansion in concrete. The primary mechanism behind creep involves the loss of physically adsorbed water from the calcium silicate hydrate within the hydrated cement paste. This process is further exacerbated by concrete's non-linear stress-strain relationship, microcrack development in the interfacial transition zone, and...

Effects of Creep01:25

Effects of Creep

128
Creep in concrete, the gradual deformation under prolonged stress, significantly impacts the integrity of structures. For reinforced concrete beams, it can be a vital design consideration, as it increases deflection, sometimes necessitating additional design measures. In columns, especially slender ones under eccentric loads, creep can cause buckling, compromising their stability. However, creep can be beneficial in indeterminate structures by mitigating stresses that arise from shrinkage,...

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

193
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

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

257
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.

Elasticity in Concrete01:20

Elasticity in Concrete

87
Upon subjecting concrete to moderate or high uniaxial compressive or tensile stresses, the strain response is non-linear relative to the stress applied. As the stress is removed, the resulting stress-strain curve deviates from the original path traced during loading, creating a hysteresis loop, indicative of the concrete's non-linear and non-elastic properties. Typically, a material's modulus of elasticity, which is a measure of the material's stiffness, is inferred from the linear...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Spinal Research
  • Musculoskeletal Science

Background:

  • The lumbar spine's response to mechanical loading is crucial for understanding injury mechanisms.
  • Cyclic loading, common in occupational settings, may induce different tissue responses than static loading.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the influence of cyclic loading on lumbar spine creep response under combined flexion-compression.
  • To compare creep behavior and damage patterns between cyclic and static loading regimes.

Main Methods:

  • Ten porcine functional spinal units (FSUs) underwent mechanical testing under cyclic or static flexion-compression.
  • Creep response was analyzed using strain-time data and linear regression.
  • High-resolution computed tomography (µCT) assessed FSU damage, with ANCOVA and ANOVA used for statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • Distinct creep response patterns and biphasic behavior were observed between cyclic and static loading.
  • Significant differences in creep behavior slopes were found in both linear phases.
  • Cyclic loading consistently resulted in endplate fractures, visualized via µCT.

Conclusions:

  • Cyclic and static loading regimes produce statistically significant differences in lumbar spine creep response.
  • Biphasic creep behavior suggests altered load transfer mechanisms under cyclic loading.
  • Increased endplate fracture risk with cyclic loading emphasizes the need for tailored preventive strategies for repetitive spinal tasks.
