Abstract:
A new method for assessment of the rigidity of corneoscleral membrane is offered: dynamic rigidometry permitting assessment of the real rigidity of the sclera (Eo). The studies were carried out in 106 normal subjects and 154 patients with glaucoma. In normal controls Eo coefficient was 0.0044 +/- 0.0008 on an average, whereas in glaucoma patients it was two times higher (0.0109 +/- 0.0018). This coefficient virtually did not depend on the level of intraocular pressure. A relationship between Eo and glaucoma stage was detected.

Consider two children sitting on a seesaw, which has negligible mass. The first child has a mass (m1) of 26 kg and sits at point A, which is 1.6 meters (r1) from the pivot point B; the second child has a mass (m2) of 32 kg and sits at point C. How far from the pivot point B should the second child sit (r2) to balance the seesaw?

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 a...
