As compared with PA6, Onyx showed a higher compression stress at all strain rates investigated. A layer height of 0.2 mm in PA6 specimens promoted a better bonding between [0/90°] infill layers; hence, a higher flow stress than 0.2 mm layer height specimens, while 0.2 mm layer height induced a higher porosity in Onyx specimens, leading to a lower flow stress. The porosities in Onyx [0/90°] infill specimens were due to the constraining effect of 0/90° fiber layers. Changing infill pattern from a [0/90°] to a concentric one decreased porosity at the same layer height and hence increased the compressive flow stress. The highest compressive strength was found in the specimens with the loading axis 90 and 0° to [0/90°] infill plane. The lowest strength was, however, determined in the specimens with the loading axis 30 and 60o to [0/90°] infill plane in quasi-static loading.

Discussion: These findings have shown that transdiscal screw fixation can be biomechanically sufficient against the shear forces occurring as a result of axial loading. We believe that this technique can be a good alternative as a fixation method for the L5-S1 spondylolisthesis. |

The foam samples made from the slurries with 55 and 60 wt% of solid and sintered at 700 and 750 degrees C for 30 min had the average densities between 355 and 530 kg m(-3) and the average compressive strengths between 0.2 and 0.5 MPa. Increasing sintering time to 60 min at 750 degrees C increased the average compressive strength from 0.5 to 1.5 MPa for the foam samples made from the slurry with 60 wt% of solid. These proved that both sintering temperature and time were effective in increasing the compressive strengths of the foamed structures. The thermal conductivities of the sintered foam samples with the densities of 355 and 504 kg m(-3) were measured 0.042 and 0.057 W m(-1) K-1, respectively. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

By using fictitious numerical models with strain rate insensitive material models, the effect of inertia and strain rate on crushing were shown. It was observed that, increase in impact velocity caused increase in inertial effects and strain rate effects were nearly independent from the impact velocity. The effects of multilayering were also investigated numerically. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
