Piezoresistive Cantilever Microprobe with Integrated Actuator for Contact Resonance Imaging by Tianran Ma, Michael Fahrbach, Erwin Peiner

“…The numbers and positions of the actuators were optimized for specific CR vibration modes using analytical modeling of the cantilever bending based on the transfer-matrix method and Hertzian contact mechanics. To confirm the design of the PCM with a PEA, finite element analysis (FEA) of CR probing of a sample with a Young’s modulus of 10 GPa was performed. …”

Bilateral medial malleolar fractures in a young athlete: the role of biomechanics in non-contact injuries by Josh Landers, Austin Fortinberry

“…This case study presents a unique scenario involving a patient who suffered medial malleolar fractures in both the left and right ankles under separate, non-contact mechanisms of injury. Both injuries were managed through a combination of immobilization and physical therapy, with the right ankle requiring surgical intervention initially. …”

Engagement and Contact Analysis of Coiled Tubing Injector Head Chain Drive by Hu Zheng, Ma Weiguo, Qu Baolong, Liu Xuehang

“…Based on the standard roller chain and sprocket, the mechanical model of the engagement contact between the injector head chain and the sprocket teeth is established to analyze the influence of chain tension force, chain tension angle and chain pitch on the position of contact points and tooth surface support reaction force, and the accuracy of the contact mechanical model is verified by Ansys simulation which lays a theoretical foundation for the design and safety of the injector. …”

Research on Tooth Positioning and Mechanical Properties of Flexspline Tooth Rings with Harmonic Gear Clearance Assembly by Xing Jingzhong, Yang Ziyu, Chen Xiaoxia, Yao Yunpeng

“…To reveal the mechanical properties and the tooth positioning on deformed flexspline tooth rings with fit clearance, taking elliptical cam wave generator as an example and considering the fit clearance caused by the clearance between the inner wall of flexsplines, the outer surface of wave generators, the clearance of flexible bearings and the elongation of neutral lines, a contact mechanical model of tooth rings is established. …”

Biological properties of swine vesicular disease virus strain 2348 Italy/2008 by Ye. N. Kalinina, S. N. Fomina

“…There was evidence that the virus was not transmitted to the intact animal in case husbandry conditions were met that allowed to avoid the infection transmission by the fecal-oral and contact mechanisms. As a result of the experiment, reference sera were collected at different time intervals post infection and their activity was determined using virus microneutralization test in cell culture and ELISA. …”
