It was concluded that a lapped scarf joint with 3 wooden dowels that is 1.38 m long and located at 1/5 L from support is the most efficient joint (in terms of strength, stiffness, and manufacturing) for the beam-end reparation; however, location of joint must consider both preservation of the most of the original material and the extent of damage.
Suitable design recommendations of the tee joint in terms of appropriate material with specific lamination scheme have been made based on stress and failure analysis.
The analysis allow us to rigorously characterize for the first time the weakest link, that is the CNT CNT joint, in terms of Weibull size and shape parameter.
The obtained results demonstrate the good properties of the joint in terms of strength and deformation capacity, control of story drift, easy reparability, and preventing beams and columns from damage.
This study sought to evaluate a brace prototype designed with an anterior-sloped joint, in terms of its efficacy in attenuating anterior tibial translation and axial tibial rotation during landing, using a motion analysis approach.
Many of those publications do not mention the status of patellofemoral joint in terms of osteoarthritis.
In addition, we evaluated agreement between readers' assessment of the spine or SI joint in terms of a SPARCC score of <2 versus ≥2.
In this study, we have also confirmed that a positive treatment effect (the disappearance of synovitis in the short term) is of benefit for the joint in terms of reducing subsequent structural deterioration.
In general, areas that contained sprouting of nerve fibers and neuroma-like structures were remarkably different from nerve fibers in the normal bone and joint in terms of morphology and density.
These joints were also shown to meet the classification criteria of semi-rigid joints in terms of stiffness, and the ductility, which was governed by fracture of energy dissipating elements, was found to be satisfactory.
Video-extensometry is applied to characterize the hybrid joints in terms of strength and failure history.
