Simulation Study on Strength and Failure Characteristics for Granite with a Set of Cross-Joints of Different Lengths by Dawei Yin, Shaojie Chen, Xingquan Liu, Hongfa Ma

“…The results show that when the included angle of α between the main joint and loading direction is 30° or 45°, no matter what the included angle of β between main and secondary joints is, the main joint controls crack propagation and failure of granite specimen, which occurs the shear failure propagating from main joint tips, and the corresponding uniaxial compressive strength is low. …”

Body position influence on cerebrospinal fluid volume redistribution inside the cranial and spinal CSF compartments by I. Strbačko, M. Radoš, I. Jurjević, D. Orešković, M. Klarica, M. Klarica

“…IntroductionIt is generally accepted that during body position changes from horizontal to vertical there is a short-lasting shift of a certain CSF volume from the cranium into the hydrostatically lower parts of the spinal space, which leads to transitory CSF pressure decrease to negative values.MethodsIn order to test this, we performed MRI volumetry of cranial and spinal part of the CSF space in healthy volunteers of both genders (n = 22) in three different body positions [horizontal (H); elevated head and upper body (H-UP) under an angle about 30° from the base; elevated lower body (B-UP) under an angle about 30° from the base].ResultsVolumes of brain and spinal cord tissue did not change during body position changes. …”

STAND FOR TEMPERATURE SURFACE EVALUATION OF FRAGMENTS OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS AND ITS IMITATORS by V. V. Lobunov, A. I. Kuharenko, T. V. Borbotko, L. M. Lynkov

“…This method allows us to evaluate the surface temperature of the object at different angles of lighting and viewing. Obtained data allows us to estimate the degree to which the imitator corresponds to a natural environment by the temperature and it’s dynamic of change.The construction of the stand allows to select angles of source of radiation and thermal detector in range 25–75 degrees from normal to the surface of object under study. …”

The analysis of kinematic rolling pairs such as «cylinder in cylinder» by A. Kh. Shamutdinov, I. Yu. Lesnyak

“…The analysis is considered by the location of the axes of the cylinders between themselves: when the axes are parallel and when they intersect or intersect at an angle of 90 º. This study complements the data in the theory of description of kinematic pairs, in particular, rolling pairs, and makes it possible to synthesize their new types for their rational use in the mechanisms of many industries.…”
