Each year 65% of young athletes and 25% physically active adults suffer from at least one musculoskeletal injury that prevents them continuing with physical activity, negatively influencing their mental well-being. The treatment injuries the adhesive elastic kinesiology tape (KT) decreases recovery time. Patients can thus recommence exercise earlier. Here, a novel KT based on auxetic structures is proposed to simplify application procedure allow personalization. This exploits form-fitting...
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency causing nearly one-quarter of maternal deaths worldwide, 99% these in low-resource settings (LRSs). Uterine balloon tamponade (UBT) devices are a non-surgical treatment to stop PPH. In LRSs, low-cost versions UBT based on the condom (CBT) technique, but their effectiveness limited. This paper discusses experimental study assess usability and performance medical device, BAMBI, designed as alternative current CBT devices. The testing phase...
Purpose This study aims to deepen the knowledge concerning metal fused filament fabrication technology through an analysis of printing parameters a commercial 316L stainless steel and their influence on porosity mechanical properties printed parts. It also investigates feasibility manufacturing complex geometries, including strut-and-node triply periodic minimal surface lattices. Design/methodology/approach A three-step experimental campaign was carried out. Firstly, were evaluated by...
Additive Manufacturing provides unprecedented opportunities for designing and producing intricate, architected materials with exceptional properties while maintaining reduced weight. One of the most straightforward ways to create such structures is mimic lattice geometries crystals. New approaches are now exploring how influence behaviour these by mimicking not only crystal arrangement but also peculiar mechanisms occurring at crystallographic scale. In a context, this study first presents...
The percolation of organic Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into metallic skeletons produces Composite PCMs (C-PCMs). This paper explores Al-Si-Mg alloy Sheet-based Primitive-Schwarz (PS) Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) C-PCMs filled by paraffines, comparing them with built inverse Body-Centred Cubic (BCC) structures. aim is to derive guidelines for improving the thermal response flexibility these systems. lattice geometrical features and C-PCM properties are calculated modelled as a...
Abstract This study investigates the synergy between additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and computational design strategies in jewellery how that can be successfully exploited to extend innovation field further. A case called Ecdysis, a bioinspired collection, is presented. dedicated algorithm has been developed described detail. allows for exploitation of shape functional complexity dimensions allowed by AM control printability generated concept. Shape are mimic beauty dynamism...
The escalating demand for torsion‐ and bending‐resistant structures paired with the need more efficient use of materials geometries, have led to novel bio‐inspired ingenious solutions. However, lessons from Nature could be as inspiring they are puzzling: plants animals offer an enormous range promising but hierarchically complex configurations. Avian bones prominent candidates addressing torsional bending issue. They present a unique intertwining simple components: helicoidal ridges...
Purpose The purpose of this study is to describe the design and validation a three-dimensional (3D)-printed phantom uterus support development uterine balloon tamponade devices conceived stop post-partum haemorrhages (PPHs). Design/methodology/approach 3D model generated by analysing main requirements for validating devices. A modular approach implemented guarantee that allows testing these under multiple working conditions. Once finalised design, effectiveness validated experimentally....
This paper analyses the design and measurement issues that deal with development of uterine balloon tamponade devices to treat post-partum haemorrhage be used in low-resource settings. emergency situation requires low-cost, reliable, easy-to-use solutions stop bleeding quickly. The analysis highlights that, although are already available, still, there concerning quantification blood lost volume, measure pressure applied by system walls, lack a user-centred approach focused on woman.
The 3.1 target of the Sustainable Development Goals United Nations aims to reduce global maternal mortality ratio less than 70 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030. last updates on this show a significant stagnation in data, thus reducing chance meeting it. What makes negative result even more serious is that these could be avoided through prevention and wider use pharmacological strategies devices stop postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). PPH leading obstetric cause low- middle-income countries...
