Is there a role for percutaneous pelvic and acetabular reconstruction?

2007

The primary goal in the treatment of pelvic fractures is the restoration of haemodynamic stability. The secondary goal is the reconstruction of stability and symmetry of the pelvic ring. Percutaneous reconstruction can only be accepted if these goals are met. The type of definitive surgery is dependent of the degree of instability of the anterior and posterior pelvic ring. Retrograde transpubic screw fixation of pubic rami fractures is a good alternative to external fixation or plate and screw osteosynthesis. The technique of screw placement and image intensifier control is explained. Internal fixation of pure sacroiliac dislocations, fracture-dislocations of the sacroiliac joint and sacral…

Correlation between milling parameters and microstructure characteristics of nanocrystalline copper powder prepared via a high energy planetary ball …

2007

The microstructure evolution of Cu-nanostructured powders versus the ball milling conditions was investigated by whole peak profile powder pattern modeling method. This method allows defining in some approach the characteristics of as-milled Cu powder microstructure in terms of crystallite size, type and density of dislocations and twin faults density. It is shown that the change of microstructure characteristics of as-milled Cu powder versus the ball milling conditions (under constant time of the ball milling) depend on only some energy parameters of the milling, for example, average size of crystallite is uniquely defined by energy of the shock, whereas the portion of edge and screw compo…

Polymerization and Damage of C60 Single Crystals under Low Fluency Laser Irradiation

2001

Photo-induced hardening, substructure formation and damage of C 60 single crystals under the 632.8 nm He-Ne laser irradiation in air at a power density of 1.47 mW/mm 2 was investigated by microhardness and AFM methods. Photo-induced formation of the dislocation substructure and crystallographically oriented crack patterns on the (111) face due to lattice contraction on polymerization were observed. Two phototransformed states: soft (400-450 MPa) and hard (650-1000 MPa) are found to appear under laser-irradiation. Hard fullerite is created in the subsurface layer < 1 μm at the saturation stage of phototransformation. It softens to 400-450 MPa at 340 K and reverts to non-polymerized state at …

Magnetization relaxation in the flux-creep annealing regime across the second magnetization peak of disordered YBa2Cu3O7− crystals

2001

Abstract The relaxation of the irreversible magnetization of disordered YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7− x crystals measured in the “flux-creep annealing” regime reveals that across the second magnetization peak (SMP) the barriers against flux motion remain finite at low current densities, which supports the existence of a crossover to a dissipation process involving the plastic deformation of the vortex system. In our experiments, the vortex creep process appears to be exclusively controlled by collective pinning barriers (diverging at low current densities) only below the onset of the SMP, where the vortex system is stable against dislocation formation. The (elastic) collective pinning barriers observed f…

Reconstructed bcc Co films on the surface

2007

Abstract Ultrathin epitaxial Co films on Cr ( 1 1 0 ) are examined by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM and STS). At room temperature Co grows as pseudomorphic bcc layers for the first two monolayers and forms close-packed Co layers with stacking faults for thicker coverages. A periodic lattice distortion appears in two equivalent (3 × 1) reconstruction domains in combination with a regular lattice of dislocation lines oriented along the in-plane close-packed row directions bcc [ 1 1 ¯ 1 ] and bcc [ 1 ¯ 1 1 ] . The reconstruction and the occurrence of dislocation lines are caused by the epitaxial strain. The local density-of-states function is mapped by scanning tunneling …

Mathematical modelling of the industrial growth of large silicon crystals by CZ and FZ process

2003

The present paper gives an overview of the complex mathematical modelling of industrial Czochralski (CZ) and floating‐zone (FZ) processes for the growth of large silicon single crystals from melt. Extensive numerical investigations of turbulent Si‐melt flows in large diameter CZ crucibles, global thermal calculations in growth facilities and analysis of the influence of various electromagnetic fields on CZ process are presented. For FZ process, a complex system of coupled 2D and 3D mathematical models is presented to show the possibilities of modelling from the calculation of the molten zone shape till the resistivity distribution in the grown crystal. A special developed program code is pr…

Abstract The cubic lattice parameter value a =1.41568±0.00006  nm of large size C 60 single crystal has been measured and Debye temperature T D =53.9 K from the X-ray scattering spectrum at a fixed temperature was obtained. The microhardness and dislocation structure of the crystals was examined.

Influence of plastic deformation on the microstructure and corrosion behaviour of Ti–10Mo–4Zr and Ti–6Al–4V alloys in the Ringer’s solution at 37°C

2015

Abstract The influence of plastic deformation on the microstructure and passivity of Ti–6Al–4V and Ti–10Mo–4Zr is studied. The content of titanium-based compounds in the passive film formed on the alloys increases under straining. In the region where necking occurs, the β-phase content drops in Ti–6Al–4V. The grain orientation spread increases with increasing strain. The quality index of EBSD maps is affected on Ti–10Mo–4Zr (dislocation structures along preferential orientations). The corrosion behaviour is investigated in the Ringer’s solution (37 °C). Results obtained in the anodic and cathodic domains are discussed considering changes described previously.

Plastic Deformation of Single Nanometer-Sized Crystals

2008

We report in situ electron microscopy observations of the plastic deformation of individual nanometer-sized Au, Pt, W, and Mo crystals. Specifically designed graphitic cages that contract under electron irradiation are used as nanoscopic deformation cells. The correlation with atomistic simulations shows that the observed slow plastic deformation is due to dislocation activity. Our results also provide evidence that the vacancy concentration in a nanoscale system can be smaller than in the bulk material, an effect which has not been studied experimentally before.
