However, stiffness differences between modular and monoblock porous tantalum tibial trays may affect bone ingrowth.
These parameters include number of granular piles, modular ratio (i.e., stiffness of granular piles/stiffness of the weak soil), stiffness of granular layer, diameter of granular piles, length of granular piles, arrangement of granular piles, and granular piles of different diameters.
The vertical and differential displacements are found to reduce with the increase in soil stiffness (i.e., decrease in the modular ratio) as shown in Fig. 10.
The technology is modular allowing for adding bending stiffness to an initial membrane model using the same geometrical discretization and, thus, supporting the entire design procedure from form finding to ultimate load or dynamic analysis of thin shells.
The modular frame had acceptable strength and stiffness within fortified intensity shake earthquake levels, and it satisfied ductility requirements without much structural failure.
The barriers' mean transverse stiffnesses were evaluated and the custom barrier's stiffness was about 46% greater than that of the modular barrier.
Sandwich units are formed by incorporating standard pultruded GFRP box or I-profiles between two GFRP flat panels to form built-up modular sections with considerable improvement of bending stiffness.
Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of in-plane diaphragm stiffness and strength on the seismic performance of multi-story modular buildings.
In the context of modular machine tool frames, conventional mechanical criteria like stiffness, reliability and cost are key factors when designing new joining techniques.
A reduction in the maximum and differential displacements of the strip footing of about 83.8 and 73.6%, respectively, is found as the soil stiffness increases from 0.8 to 8 MPa (i.e., the modular ratio decreases from 50 to 5).
