Fracture toughness and failure mechanism of high performance concrete incorporating carbon nanotubes by Anwar Khitab, Sajjad Ahmad, Rao Arsalan Khushnood, Syed Ali Rizwan, Giuseppe Andrea Ferro, Luciana Restuccia, Mustajab Ali, Imran Mehmood

“…Use of thoroughly dispersed carbon nanotubes in the concrete matrix is one of the possible solution for enhancing mechanical properties in tension/flexure. In the present research work, small fractions of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNTs) i.e. 0.05 and 0.10 wt% of cement have been integrated into the cement concrete to study their effect on the mechanical properties of the resultant concrete mixtures. …”

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Mechanical Response to Load in the Setting of Changes to the Medial Meniscus by Angela Hussain, Muffaddal Madraswala, Jason Koh, Farid Amirouche

“…Horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs) resulted in heightened contact pressures and diminished joint stability, as evidenced by increased ACL stress attributed to compensatory mechanisms in the presence of meniscal tears. Conversely, transplantation procedures exhibited a mitigating effect, maintaining joint mechanics closer to intact conditions and minimizing alterations in ACL forces. …”
