The article presents continued considerations presented in a prior publication on the development of a model for calculating the bending stiffness of cellular honeycomb paperboards, applying the strength properties of paper raw materials used for the production of paperboard and the geometric parameters of cellular board. The results of calculations obtained by using the analytical model presented in the prior publication were significantly overestimated in relation to the value obtained by measurements. The calculation error in relation to the measurement value for the tested group of paperboards in the case of bending stiffness in the machine direction was within the range from 23% to 116%, and the average error was 65%, while in the cross direction it was within the range from 2% to 54%, and the average error was 31%. The calculation model proposed in this work based on the physical properties of cellular paperboard reduces the error values for bending stiffness in both the machine and cross directions. The value of the average error for both main directions in the paperboard plane was 10%. The method enables more accurate determination of in the machine direction and in the cross direction at the paperboard design stage. In order to validate the proposed analytical model, the calculation results were compared with the results of laboratory measurements performed using the four-point bending method and, in order to expand the group of tested paperboards, with the measurement results presented in the prior article for cardboards with different raw material composition and different geometric parameters.

This study aimed to evaluate the near-cortical over-drilling technique on the mechanical behaviour of bone-plate constructs in a rabbit transverse femoral fracture. In vitro biomechanical testing and finite element (FE) models were used for analyses. Rabbits' bones (n = 14) were divided into two groups: G1 - without near-cortical over-drilling, and G2 - with near-cortical over-drilling.

High cost of clinical trials hinders further enhancement of comprehensive mechanical properties of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS). Therefore, a multi-objective optimization method combining surrogate modeling and finite element simulation is proposed, based on the evaluation of stents with various auxetic structures and materials. The results demonstrated that re-entrant hexagon stent made of PLA (PLA-RH stent) was a more ideal candidate, with superior radial recoil and force.

BackgroundA stable guiding system is essential for successful carotid artery stenting (CAS), particularly when navigating tortuous aortic or supra-aortic anatomy. However, data on the mechanical behavior of stent delivery systems remain scarce.ObjectiveTo assess and compare the bending stiffness and trackability of five commercially available carotid stent delivery systems using bench-top experiments.

The confining walls made by 2D materials are often considered solid boundary conditions in studies of fluid transport through nanochannels, while the atomically thin walls inherently exhibit thermal fluctuations at a finite temperature. In this work, we investigate the solid-liquid interfacial friction properties of water confined within flexible nanochannels using machine-learning-potential molecular dynamics. Surprisingly, we find that the friction coefficient (λ) increases with lateral size in the flexible nanochannels, following a linear relationship with 1/, which is absent in rigid channels.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of cross-section geometry on the mechanical properties of nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments by comparing two instruments with identical tip size, taper, and thermal treatment but differing in cross-section design.
Methods: One hundred four NiTi rotary instruments, being S-shaped and triangular cross-section, manufactured with Blueish thermal treatment, were tested (n = 52 per group). Differential scanning calorimetry was employed, and the metal mass volume and cross-section area were assessed.
