The transfer of aircraft on deck relies on the traction system, which is easily affected by the offshore environment. Violent ship motion in the complex marine environment poses a great threat to the aircraft traction process, such as the tire sidesl...
Although research has shown that through the additional rigidity introduced in the secondary suspension, traction rods can affect the vertical dynamic performance of railway vehicles, this topic has been less studied by researchers in the field. In t...
To solve the problem of fatigue failure in fillet welds of traction rod brackets on locomotive bogies of a given model, the cause for failure and the improvement method were studied. The results show that when there is maximum clearance at weld roots...
In this work, the frictional traction forces developing in the annular space between two concentric vertical cylinders consisting of the outer surface of a cylindrical rod and the inner sidewall of a wider circular cylinder will be analyzed. The expe...
Background: Severe spinal deformity manifests as a pronounced deviation from the normal curvature of the spine in the frontal, sagittal, and horizontal planes, where the coronal plane curvature exceeds 90 degrees and may coincide with hyperkyphotic d...
Background: Vertebral column resection (VCR) has historically been recognized as the most efficacious corrective intervention for severe rigid spinal deformities. Nevertheless, advancements in preoperative optimization, staged corrective methodologie...
Background/Objectives: Managing long bone fractures and deformities in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) with telescoping rods is a common but challenging procedure. A rare complication is the distal migration of the rod’s proximal female component,...
Recent material science advances have resulted in the use of High-Performance Concrete (HPC) and Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) in superstructures, which were chosen for their superior strength. However, under cyclic loads, these materials fr...
In this study, we designed a new type of digital hydraulic transformer using four gear–pump/motor units with a displacement ratio of 20:21:22:23 and two control valve groups that consist of four solenoid directional valves. The driving gear sha...
Conventional design method of the downhole tractor is based on cementing casing, which is only suitable for the smooth wellbore. For the open hole well, the conventional downhole tractor has poor adaptability and even cannot work normally. In order t...
The treatment of scoliosis has been explored and debated in medicine since the first recorded texts. Scoliosis treatment has shifted over time from external modalities, such as traction and bracing, to internal stabilization techniques that leverage...
Background: Temporary internal distraction is a safe surgical technique that has been shown to improve correction of severe scoliosis. The traditional surgical adjunct for scoliosis treatment in the perioperative period is halo gravity traction, but...
Background: Severe spinal curvatures (SSCs) in children and adolescents have long been treated with preoperative Halo traction, in its various variations. There are also several radical techniques available for the management of neglected SSCs, such...
In high-speed train traction power supply systems, compensation ropes serve as critical transmission components to ensure system stability. These ropes are specially designed as right-hand alternating lay wire ropes. During tension compensation of th...
Pantograph-based electrical current transmission systems are used in electric traction vehicles. The contact surface between the pantograph and the catenary wire experiences mechanical and thermal effects during the train’s movement. Typically,...
This article describes the ocular phenotype associated with the identified Casitas B-lineage lymphoma (CBL) gene mutation and reviews the current literature. This work also includes the longitudinal follow-up of five unrelated cases of unexplained fu...
Background: Neurofibromatosis 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder accompanied by extensive early-onset spinal manifestations, with or without dystrophic scoliotic features. While non-dystrophic subtypes can often be treated similarly to idiopathic sc...
In mining machines with friction discs, but also in multi-rope traction elevators, it is necessary to distribute the applied tensile load, generated by the weight of the cage and counterweight, evenly in all cross-sections of the load-bearing ropes....
Background: Severe and rigid scoliosis represents a type of spinal deformity characterized by a Cobb angle exceeding 90° and a flexibility of less than 30%. Halo spinal traction remains the established standard for managing severe scoliosis, alth...
Mice carrying tauopathy-associated mutations are considered good models for frontotemporal dementia because they replicate key features of the human disease. In carriers of the P301S tau mutation, these include degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in...
