LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR ANALYSES OF PRESSURE PIPE ELBOWS
The introduction of pressure piping increasingly requires the use of efficient materials which must withstand both high hydrostatic pressures, high mechanical loads and high thermal gradients. At nuclear power plants, piping systems are subjected to high pressures (up to 60 MPa). The occurrence of cracks and their possible spread is one of the seri...

BIOMECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE TOTAL HIP PROSTHESIS SUBJECTED TO NORMAL GAIT CYCLE LOAD: IDENTIFICATION OF THE DAMAGE IN THE CEMENT MANTLE
Cement is the weakest link in the composition of total hip prosthesis in terms of mechanical properties. The knowledge of the intensity and distribution of stresses on the cement attaching the implant to the bone is of great importance for understanding the condition of the prosthesis and its failure. In this study, the finite element method is use...
