1. Moderate-intensity exercise allows enhanced protection against oxidative stress-induced cardiac dysfunction in spontaneously hypertensive rats
The progression of myocardial injury secondary to hypertension is a complex process related to a series of physiological and molecular factors including oxidative stress. This study aimed to investigate whether moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) could improve cardiac function and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Eight-week-old male

2. A Numerical Modelling of Mixed Mode Crack Initiation and Growth in Functionally Graded Materials
The main objective of this work is to present a numerical modeling of crack propagation path in isotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs) under mixed-mode loadings. The displacement extrapolation technique (DET) and the maximum circumferential stress (MCS) criterion are investigated in the context of crack growth in functionally graded beam subject to t

4. Phylogenetic community structure reveals differences in plant community assembly of an oligotrophic white-sand ecosystem from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT Mussununga, an oligotrophic sandy savanna ecosystem, comprises distinct physiognomies along fire, water and nutrient availability gradients. Grasslands and woodlands are constrained at the opposite poles of these gradients, with grasslands occurring in areas with poorer soils and higher levels of both water-stress and fire intensity. According to th

5. Transient Stress Intensity Factors of Functionally Graded Hollow Cylinders with Internal Circumferential Cracks
Abstract In this paper, transient thermomechanical stress intensity factors for functionally graded cylinders with complete internal circumferential cracks are obtained using the weight function method. The finite difference method is used to calculate the time dependent temperature distribution and thermal stresses along the cylinder thickness. Furthermore,

6. 3D Characterization of Mixed-Mode Fracture Toughness of Materials Using a New Loading Device
Abstract In this paper, a new loading device was employed to conduct a mixed-mode fracture test. Therefore, disadvantages detected in the previous mixed-mode fracture toughness test methods can be avoided. The new fixture has perfect symmetry which provides a uniform stress state, creates the pure plane strain conditions and eliminates the unwanted mode-III

7. Probabilistic analysis of stress intensity factor (SIF) and degree of bending (DoB) in axially loaded tubular K-joints of offshore structures
Abstract The stress intensity factor (SIF) and the degree of bending (DoB) are among the crucial parameters in evaluating the fatigue reliability of offshore tubular joints based on the fracture mechanics (FM) approach. The value of SIF is a function of the crack size, nominal stress, and two modifying coefficients known as the crack shape factor (Yc) and ge

8. A New Displacement-based Approach to Calculate Stress Intensity Factors With the Boundary Element Method
Abstract The analysis of cracked brittle mechanical components considering linear elastic fracture mechanics is usually reduced to the evaluation of stress intensity factors (SIFs). The SIF calculation can be carried out experimentally, theoretically or numerically. Each methodology has its own advantages but the use of numerical methods has become very popu

9. Jatropha curcasand Ricinus communisdisplay contrasting photosynthetic mechanisms in response to environmental conditions
Higher plants display different adaptive strategies in photosynthesis to cope with abiotic stress. In this study, photosynthetic mechanisms and water relationships displayed byJatropha curcasL. (physic nuts) andRicinus communisL. (castor bean), in response to variations in environmental conditions, were assessed.R. communis showed higher CO2 assimilation, st

10. Interaction Analysis of Non-aligned Cracks Using Extended Finite Element Method
Abstract Multiple flaws are frequently occurred in actual components, such as pressure vessels and power plants. These flaws will in some circumstances lead to more severe effects than single flaw alone. Assessment of the interaction behavior is based on the evaluation of alignment and combination of these multiple flaws. In the current standards, multiple c

11. Numerical investigation of sliding frictional contact in functionally graded steels (FGS)
This study will analyze the two-dimensional nonlinear partial slip contact problem between a graded half plane in the normal to the contact interface and a rigid flat punch subject to a normal load. The problem, formulated under plane strain conditions, is reduced to singular integral equations of the second kind that are then solved with an expansion - coll

12. Elliptical and circular bonded composite repair under mechanical and thermal loading in aircraft structures
In this study, the three-dimensional finite element method is used to achieve a comparison between the semi circular and semi elliptical patch repairs in aircraft structures. The comparison was done by the analysis of : the mechanical and thermal stress intensity factors (SIF and TSIF) at the tip of repaired crack and the distribution of the adhesive stresse
