We report on the long-term effects of degrading magnesium implants bone tissue in a growing rat skeleton using continuous vivo micro-Computed Tomography, histological staining and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Two different alloys—one rapidly (ZX50) one slowly (WZ21)—were used to evaluate response distribution released Mg Y ions femur male Sprague-Dawley rats. Regardless whether alloy degrades or slowly, we found that recovers restitutio ad integrum...
Abstract Differences in fracture patterns and properties at various moisture levels are experimentally numerically evaluated discussed. Experiments were performed on spruce, pine, oak beech. The influence of 98%, 80%, 65% 30% RH the mechanisms involved investigated for softwoods hardwoods subjected to opening mode I using situ ex real-time environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). wedge-splitting technique was employed. To quantify effect humidity, toughness values obtained from...
The existence or non-existence of fatigue crack growth thresholds is practical importance and scientific interest, as knowledge the stresses enabling formation at surface interior a specimen. Near-threshold measurements have been performed on 12% chromium steels with an ultrasound testing technique different mean loads in ambient air vacuum very high numbers cycles. Microstructural features fracture surfaces were investigated SEM. appearance after cycling near threshold regime compared that...
