From the literature, it is possible to find two trends regarding the stiffness evolution of foamed bitumen stabilized-recycled mixtures. The first trend indicates that once the foamed bitumen mix reaches a constant value ...

The interpretation of experimental data from nonlinear structures is challenging, primarily because of dependency on types and levels of excitation, and coupling issues with test equipment. In this paper, the use of the ...

Vascular research in end-stage renal diseases is an interesting field in which the characterization of arterial stiffness proved to be valuable to predict morbidity and mortality. Particularly, patients on renal replacement ...

Cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis C should be monitored for the evaluation of liver function and screening of hepatocellular carcinoma even after sustained virological response (SVR). The stage of inflammatory ...

This study focuses on analysing the effects of nonlinear torsional stiffness on the dynam-ics of a slender elastic beam under torsional oscillations, which can be subject to helical buckling.The helical buckling of an ...

In the 1960 s, the first studies of diastolic function appeared and from there the interest in this phase of the cardiac cycle increased. Such interest has continued to the present day, when systole and diastole are equally ...
