Full textAbstract:
Naturally occurring armor has evolved in many different classes of organisms, often in response to predation, although other factors may play a part. In this study, the scales of the benthic armored fish Agonopsis vulsa were examined for damage patterns in order to illuminate the life history and environmental interactions of the fish. Scales from the fish were systematically destroyed in the lab, and observations made from the damaged scales were used to create a categorical damage rating, which was applied to 34 specimens ranging in trunk length from 2.3 cm to 14.2 cm. The specimens were rendered as three-dimensional digital models after being scanned with a micro-CT scanner. During data analysis, the damage categorization was simplified to a binary of damaged vs. undamaged and statistical significance of damage was calculated using probability loop simulations. Statistically significant damage was found in a few small clusters across the ontogeny, consistent with predation and intraspecies competition. This study is also suggests that the flattening of ventral scales in A. vulsa is not congenital. The scales are most likely ground down by constant friction against the sea floor over the lifespan of the organism.

Full textAbstract:
[EN] Cortical bone tissue is the responsible of giving support and structure to vertebrates. For that reason, understanding and analyzing its behavior is needed from each different hierarchical level that composes it. The lower the structural scale is, the greater the complexity and scarcity of studies in literature. These studies are relevant for understanding, preventing and solving important health problems that affect human beings.
From a mechanical point of view is interesting to evaluate and apply engineering numerical tools to analyze complex materials as biological tissues, increasing the state of the art in different disciplines that can be applied in numerous fields as material science, biomechanics, numerical methods, medicine and more.
In this Thesis the mechanical behavior of cortical bone at microstructural level is analyzed, with finite element models of its basic structure, the osteon. The microstructure of osteons, composed of mineralized collagen fibrils in layers with different orientations disposed concentrically around blood vessels is considered in the models for the calculation of elastic properties and failure criteria definition.
For obtaining elastic properties, the use of micromechanical finite element models is considered, with heterogeneous composition for both mineralized collagen fibrils (at nanostructural level) and lamellar level (at sub-microstructural level).
The failure analysis for realistic geometries is applied after comparing different models that involve, on one hand the growth of microcracks with contact conditions and on the other, degradation of elastic material properties by user subroutines of the finite element code, the latter being the one that brings better results from a computational cost viewpoint. Therefore an interesting alternative is here presented that can be used to evaluate the damage propagation at three-dimensional level, which with other methods as X-FEM can be computationally unaffordable.
Composite materials failure criteria are applied to osteon analysis and the results are related with experimental tests from bibliography, showing the relevance of shear stresses between lamellae for failure initiation and propagation. In a two-dimensional study it is also shown the important role of osteocyte lacunae in the failure initiation, what is interesting from a cellular mechanotransduction approach.[ES] El tejido óseo cortical es el encargado de dar soporte y estructura a los vertebrados. Existe por tanto una necesidad de conocer y analizar mecánicamente su comportamiento desde los distintos niveles jerárquicos que lo componen, siendo mayor la complejidad y más escasos los estudios disponibles en la literatura cuanto más pequeña es la escala estructural que se analiza. Estos estudios son relevantes para comprender, prevenir y solucionar problemas de salud importantes que afectan al ser humano. Desde el punto de vista mecánico es interesante evaluar y aplicar herramientas numéricas ingenieriles para el análisis de materiales más complejos como son los biológicos, incrementando el estado del arte en distintas disciplinas que pueden ser aplicadas en numerosos campos como la ciencia de los materiales, la biomecánica, los métodos numéricos o la medicina, entre otras. En esta Tesis se analiza el comportamiento mecánico del hueso cortical a nivel microestructural, donde se modela mediante el método de los elementos finitos su unidad básica, la osteona. Para la obtención de las propiedades elásticas se considera en los modelos la microestructura compuesta por capas de colágeno mineralizado con diferentes orientaciones, dispuestas de manera concéntrica alrededor de los canales vasculares. Se incluye además la utilización de modelos micromecánicos de elementos finitos que tienen en cuenta la composición heterogénea tanto para el nivel del fibrilo de colágeno mineralizado (nivel nanoestructural) como para el nivel de lamela (nivel sub microestructural). El análisis del fallo para geometrías realistas se aplica tras comparar varios modelos que involucran por un lado el crecimiento de grietas mediante condiciones de contacto y por otro, degradación de las propiedades elásticas del material mediante subrutinas de usuario del código de elementos finitos, siendo este último el que mejores resultados presenta desde el punto de vista del coste computacional. De esta manera se presenta una alternativa interesante que permite evaluar la propagación del daño a nivel tridimensional, lo que con otros métodos como el X-FEM puede ser computacionalmente inabordable. Se aplican criterios de fallo utilizados para materiales compuestos en ingeniería estructural a las osteonas y los resultados se relacionan con los de los ensayos experimentales disponibles en la bibliografía, mostrando la relevancia de las tensiones de cortadura entre lamelas para la iniciación y propagación del daño. En un estudio bidimensional, también se muestra la participación importante en la fase de inicio de daño de las lagunas de osteocitos lo que es interesante desde un enfoque de mecanotransducción celular.

Full textAbstract:
The notochord is the defining structure of all chordates. A semi-‐flexible elongated tube of cells, it forms along the central axis of the embryo and provides axial support during development. It also acts as a signalling centre during early embryogenesis, controlling the patterning of a number of tissues and establishing the early body axis of the embryo. In vertebrates, the function of the notochord expands beyond early development. It creates morphogenic gradients for the patterned formation of the vertebral bodies and, in adults, the remnants of the notochord form the nucleus pulposus, a gel-‐like structure with an integral role in the distribution of vertebral pressure in the intervertebral disc. Little is known about how the notochord copes with damage during embryogenesis, but degeneration of the nucleus pulposus can lead to debilitating spinal disorders. In this thesis, I use a zebrafish model system to present new data that describes the cellular behaviours associated with how the notochord copes with external damage and how this damage can influence the future development of the vertebrae. I have uncovered a novel damage response in the notochord of zebrafish larvae and characterised the morphogenetic changes involved in the process using transgenic fluorescent lines. I have explored the damage in the context of the Wilms’ Tumour 1 (Wt1) gene, a vertebrate-‐conserved transcription factor, which has recently been associated with several regenerative responses, and discovered that one of its zebrafish orthologues, wt1b, becomes upregulated in the notochord damage response. I have used fluorescent confocal imaging and immunohistochemistry to present new evidence that shows that upon injury, the outer notochord sheath cells upregulate the expression of wt1b. Additionally, I have used time-‐lapse microscopy to show that damage to the notochord induces novel morphological changes in the injured organ, which include the loss of cellularity of the inner vacuolated cells and the movement of the wt1b-‐positive outer sheath cells into the injured lumen. Long-‐term imaging experiments have also demonstrated the capacity of the notochord to heal the damage over time, which ultimately leads to the formation of an extra, smaller vertebra in the wounded area. Skeletal staining of these fish has revealed a previously unknown putative cartilage switch at the site of damage, which leads to the formation of the new vertebral body. This finding has been supported by the microarray analysis of the injured area, which shows the unexpected de-‐novo expression of cartilage markers at the site of damage The work in this thesis identifies for the first time an endogenous repair mechanism in the notochord of zebrafish larvae and describes the cellular, genetic and molecular processes cotrolling this novel wt1b-‐associated damage response.

Full textAbstract:
Bone bruise lesions (BBL) are documented on MRIs diagnosing acute knee ligament injury (AKLI). Recent evidence has indicated that a majority of patients that sustain an AKLI, especially anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injury, will develop post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) 10-20 years following injury. It has been proposed that the initial damage sustained to the articular cartilage overlying BBL causes a cascade of events that may result in PTOA.
Researchers have proposed a modification to treatment protocols for more severe BBL, or have stressed the need for the development of protective therapies to protect the articular cartilage. However, there are limited tools available to evaluate the clinical outcome of articular cartilage overlying BBL. Furthermore, damage to the cartilage overlying BBL may be different according to differing BBL severities. Therefore, the use of a cartilage degradation biomarker, serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (sCOMP) and the use of a BBL severity classification system may be useful to determine if differences exist between patients with and without BBL, and with differing BBL severities.
The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the utility of sCOMP as a biomarker for acute articular cartilage damage. The purposes of these studies were to determine the inter and intraday reliability of this marker, to document sCOMP longitudinally in collegiate athletes and following AKLI, and to determine if differences in sCOMP and self-reported pain and function exist for patients with and without BBL, and differing BBL following AKLI.
The results of these studies indicated sCOMP measures had strong inter and intraday reliability. Additionally, exercise does seem to influence sCOMP levels; however, these elevations may not be clinically meaningful. Furthermore, sCOMP levels were not different between patients with BBL and without, and between differing BBL severities. The results of these studies support the use of a BBL severity classification for future research studies in order to further elucidate the outcomes of these lesions.

Full textAbstract:
Forensic anthropologists are often asked to analyze and interpret human remains that have been modified or damaged by predators and/or scavengers (White 2000; James et al. 2005; Dupras et al. 2006). The goal of this study is to determine whether it is possible to distinguish carnivore tooth mark characteristics from other carnivore tooth mark characteristics through two separate analyses: first by examination of tooth pitting and second from carnivore tooth and jaw measurements. This is accomplished by visual analysis and measurements of tooth pits left on faunal bones processed by an experimental wolf group as well as carnivore tooth and jaw measurements from a study done by Murmann et al. (2006) and measurements done by the author from samples located in the Philip L. Wright Zoological Museum. In the first analysis, independent t-tests demonstrate that pit lengths found on long bone epiphyses that are less than 4mm are likely to be made by carnivores the same size or smaller than a jackal. If pit lengths found on long bone epiphyses are between 4mm and 6mm, they are likely to have been made by carnivores roughly the same size as baboons, bears, dogs, and wolves and if the pit lengths found on long bone epiphyses measure greater than 6mm, they are likely made by carnivores about the same size as hyenas and lions. Pit breadths between 2mm and 4mm found on long bone epiphyses are associated with carnivores in the size bracket of baboons, jackals, bears and dogs. Pit breadths larger than 4mm found on long bone epiphyses are associated with larger carnivores such as hyenas, lions and wolves. The second analysis, a discriminant function analysis using tooth and jaw measurements distinguishes carnivore tooth mark characteristics from other carnivore tooth mark characteristics left on scavenged remains through the use of the Murmann et al. (2006) measurements with an accuracy of between 75.5% based on leave one out cross-validation and 78.3% based on the accuracy of classification of a test sample.

Full textAbstract:
Long-duration spaceflight has been shown to have significant, lasting effects on the bone strength of astronauts and to contribute to age-related complications later in life. The microgravity environment of space causes a decrease in daily mechanical loading, which signals a state of disuse to bone cells. This affects the bone remodeling process, which is responsible for maintaining bone mass, causing an increase in damage and a decrease in density. This leads to bone fragility and decreases overall strength, posing a risk for fracture. However, there is little information pertaining to the timeline of bone loss and subsequent fracture risk.
This study used finite element analysis to model the human femur, the bone most adversely affected by spaceflight, and to simulate the environments of Earth preflight, a six-month mission on the International Space Station, and one year on Earth postflight. Changes in the properties of cortical and trabecular bone in the femoral neck were measured from the simulations, and used to provide evidence for high fracture risk and to predict when it is most prominent.
It was found that a risk for fracture is extremely evident in the femoral neck in both cortical and trabecular bone. Cortical bone in the inferior neck exhibited high magnitudes of damage, while the superior neck suffered the greatest increases in damage that proceeded to increase upon return to Earth. The density of trabecular bone decreased the most significantly and was not fully recovered in the following year. While it is still unclear exactly when these changes cause the greatest risk for fracture, it is possible that they will add to and advance the onset of medical complications such as osteoporosis. Additionally, the results of this study support the claim that the current countermeasure of inflight exercise is insufficient in sustaining bone mass and preserving skeletal health. The effects of long-duration spaceflight on bone health should continue to be investigated especially if future missions are to last as long as one to three years.

Full textAbstract:
Externally bonding of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) strips or sheets has become a popular strengthening method for reinforced concrete structures over the last two decades. For most such strengthened concrete beams and slabs, the failure is at or near the FRP-concrete interface due to FRP debonding. The objective of this thesis is to develop a deeper understanding of the debonding behaviour of the FRP-concrete interface through mesoscale finite element simulation. Central to the investigation is the use of the concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model for modelling the concrete. The FRP is treated as an elastic material. The numerical simulation is focused on the single shear test of FRP-concrete bonded joints. This problem is known to be highly nonlinear and has many difficulties in achieving a converged solution using the standard static loading procedures. A dynamic loading procedure is applied in this research and various parameters such as time step, loading rate etc. are investigated. In particular, the effect of the damping ratio is investigated in depth and an appropriate selection is recommended for solving such problems. It has been identified that the concrete damage model can have a significant effect on the numerical predictions in the present problem. Various concrete empirical damage models are assessed using cyclic test data and simulation of the single shear test of the FRP-concrete bonded joint and it is proposed that the Birtel and Mark’s (2006) model is the most appropriate one for use in the present problem. Subsequently, the effects of other aspects of the concrete behaviour on the FRP-concrete bond behaviour are investigated. These include the tensile fracture energy, compression strain energy and different concrete compression stress-strain models. These leads to the conclusion that the CEBFIP1990 model is the most appropriate one for the problem. An important issue for recognition is that the actual behaviour of the FRP-concrete bonded joints is three dimensional (3D), but most numerical simulations have treated the problem as two dimensional (2D) which has a number of imitations. True 3D simulation is however very expensive computationally and impractical. This study proposes a simple procedure for modelling the joint in 2D with the 3D behaviour properly considered. Numerical results show that the proposed method can successfully overcome the limitations of the traditional 2D simulation method. The above established FE model is then applied to simulate a large number of test specimens. The bond stress-slip relationship is extracted from the mesoscale FE simulation results. An alternative model is proposed based on these results which is shown to be advantageous compared with existing models. This new model provides the basis for further investigation of debonding failures in FRP strengthened concrete structures in the future.

Yang, Li. "A damage-based time-domain wear-out model for wire bond interconnects in power electronic modules." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2013. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/13646/.
Full textAbstract:
In the Physics-of-Failure based approach to reliability design and assessment, which aims to relate lifetime to the identified root-cause of the potential failures, the development of effective failure mechanism models is a crucial task. The extent and rate of wire bond degradation depends on both the magnitude and duration of exposure to the loads. In the existing physics-of-failure models for wire bond interconnects, lifetime is accounted for by loading amplitude alone and is usually derived based on a regular thermal cycle of a known duration. They are not ready to predict life of arbitrary mission profiles and the effects of time at temperature on the wear-out behaviour are not addressed, leading to substantial errors for thermal cycling regimes with high peak temperatures. In this thesis, a new lifetime prediction model for wire bonds is proposed based on some phenomenological considerations, which accounts not only for the damage accumulation processes but also the damage removal phenomena during thermal exposure. The methodology discards the usual cycle-dependent modelling methodology and is instead based on a time domain representation so that it can more accurately reflect the observed temperature-time effects and related phenomena. This new time-based presentation allows estimation on the bonding interface damage condition at regular time intervals through a damage based crack propagation model which includes the effect of temperature and time dependent material properties. Meanwhile, bond degradation state is indicated in the form of crack growth and shear force reduction that are predicted by the total interface damage as a function of time. The model is calibrated and validated by the experimental results from wire material characterization tests and accelerated thermal cycling which demonstrates the advantages over the cycle-based methodologies.

Full textAbstract:
Finite element modeling has become a powerful tool in orthopedic biomechanics, allowing simulations with complex geometries. Current fatigue behavior simulations are unable to accurately predict the cycles to failure, creep, and damage or modulus loss even when applied to a bending model. It is thought that the inhomogeneity of the models may be the source of the problem. It has also been suggested that the volume size of the element will affect the fatigue behavior. This is called a stressed volume effect. In this thesis non-homogeneous finite element models were used to examine the effects of â sizing factorsâ on damage laws in fatigue simulations.Non-homogeneous finite element models were created from micro computed tomography (CT) images of dumbbell shaped fatigue samples. An automatic voxel meshing technique was used which converted the CT data directly into mesh geometry and material properties.
My results showed that including these sizing factors improved the accuracy of the fatigue simulations on the non-homogeneous models. Using the Nelder-Mead optimization routine, I optimized the sizing factors for a group of 5 models. When these optimized sizing factors were applied to other models they improved the accuracy of the simulations but not as much as for the original models, but they improved the results more than with no sizing factors at all. I found that in our fatigue simulations we could account for the effects of stressed volume and inhomogeneity by including sizing factors in the life and damaging laws.

Full textAbstract:
Metallic utility poles, light poles, and mast arms are intermittently damaged by vehicle collision. In many cases the vehicular impact does not cause immediate failure of the structure, but induces localized damage that may result in failure under extreme service loadings or can promote degradation and corrosion within the damaged region. Replacement of these poles is costly and often involves prolonged lane closures, service interruption, and temporary loss of functionality. Therefore, an in situ repair of these structures is required. This thesis examines the failure modes of damaged metallic poles reinforced with externally-bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Several FRP repair systems were selected for comparison, and a set of medium and full-scale tests were conducted to identify the critical failure modes. The material properties of each component of the repair were experimentally determined, and then combined into a numerical model capable of predicting global response. Four possible failure modes are discussed: yielding of the unreinforced substrate, tensile rupture of the FRP, compressive buckling of the FRP, and debonding of the FRP from the substrate. It was found that simple linear, bilinear, and trilinear stress-strain relationships accurately describe the response of the composite and substrate components, whereas a more complex bond-slip relationship is required to characterize debonding. These constitutive properties were then incorporated into MSC.Marc, a versatile nonlinear finite element program. The output of the FEM analysis showed good agreement with the results of the experimental bond-slip tests.ID: 031001508; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Adviser: Kevin R.

Full textAbstract:
Mechanical durability of the structures should be continuously monitored during their operation. Structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques are typically used for gathering the information which can be used for evaluating the current condition of a structure regarding the existence, location, and severity of the damage. Damage can occur in a structure after long-term operating under service loads or due to incidents. By detection of these defects at the early stages of their growth and nucleation, it would be possible to not only improve the safety of the structure but also reduce the operating costs. The main goal of this dissertation is to develop a reliable and cost-effective SHM system for inspection of composite and metallic structures. The Surface Response to Excitation (SuRE) method is one of the SHM approaches that was developed at the FIU mechatronics lab as an alternative for the electromechanical impedance method to reduce the cost and size of the equipment. In this study, firstly, the performance of the SuRE method was evaluated when the conventional piezoelectric elements and scanning laser vibrometer were used as the contact and non-contact sensors, respectively, for monitoring the presence of loads on the surface. Then, the application of the SuRE method for the characterization vii of the milling operation for identical aluminum plates was investigated. Also, in order to eliminate the need for a priori knowledge of the characteristics of the structure, some advanced signal processing techniques were introduced. In the next step, the heterodyne method was proposed, as a nonlinear baseline free, SHM approach for identification of the debonded region and evaluation of the strength of composite bonds. Finally, the experimental results for both methods were validated via a finite element software. The experimental results for both SuRE and heterodyning method showed that these methods can be considered as promising linear and nonlinear SHM approaches for monitoring the health of composite and metallic structures. In addition, by validating the experimental results using FEM, the path for further improvement of these methods in future researches was paved.

Full textAbstract:
After decades of investigation, we still have to deal withthe problem of environmental effects of the use of de-icingsalt on roads. Lacking useful indicators of the system, westill do not know the environmental utility of ameliorativemeasures taken. The thesis aims at
i) describing the system of de-icing practices and theirenvironmental effects with special reference to the exposure ofthe roadside environment to air-borne salt and damage to Norwayspruce seedlings and ii) at proposing indicators for afollow-up system. By collecting bulk deposition and relatingthe deposition pattern to factors concerning wind androad-maintenance characteristics, the influence of thesefactors on air-borne exposure is investigated. By exposingNorway spruce (Picea abies(L.) Karst.) seedlings to roadsideconditions the influence ofsalt exposure on the degree ofdamage is investigated. Based on a comparison of severalsystems of monitoring, improvements are suggested by proposingnew indicators for salt use and its environmental effects.
A large part of the salt that is applied on the road surfacewill be transported by air and deposited on the ground in theroadside. While the vast majority of the salt will be depositedwithin some tens of metres of the road, some may still be windtransported several hundred metres away. The wind directionplays an important role for the deposition already at adistance of some ten metres from the road. Wind speedinfluences the distance to which the salt is transported.Chloride concentration in unwashed needles collected after thesalting season is positively related to the bulk deposition ofCl during the exposure. The degree of damage can be describedby a sigmoid curve of response to the Cl concentration inneedles. Improvements to the follow-up system are suggested byproposing indicators of the driving forces, pressures, states,impacts and possible responses as regards the undesired impactson water resources, vegetation and the roadside scenery as asocietal asset.

Full textAbstract:
Textile reinforcement concrete (TRC) is a new building material in increasing usage in modern engineering applications. The experimental investigations of TRC reveal a multiple cracking behavior which corresponds to concrete cracking and fiber pullout mechanisms. The aim of the presented research work is the mechanical analysis of the fiber pullout mechanism under dynamical loading conditions. Appropriate constitutive material models are proposed for the matrix-fiber interface taking into consideration two main mechanical characteristics, damage behavior and rate-dependent effects. These material models are the elastic damage model, the viscoelastic model and two developed viscoelastic damage material models. Moreover, an analytical model of the fiber pullout mechanism is provided, where the governing differential equation of motion is formulated and closed analytical solutions are derived under a dynamical excitation of a harmonic pullout displacement function at the fiber tip. These analytical solutions are derived for two material models of the interface, the elastic damage and the viscoelastic material models. Furthermore, the dynamical responses are also sought for the case of a linearly increasing pullout displacement function of a definite velocity. For the latter dynamical loads a numerical DISCRETE MODEL with an iterative solving scheme is formulated for the pullout problem to solve the corresponding nonlinear differential equation of motion. Moreover, comparisons between the obtained results regarding the different proposed material models of the interface are provided. The elastic damage model can be used with a dynamical increasing factor (DIF) on the bond strength and the stiffness of the interface with respect to the shear slip rate. On the other hand, the developed viscoelastic damage material models characterize the rate-dependent effects of the dynamical pullout through the viscous and the viscoelastic parts of the corresponding constitutive relations of these models. The second part of this doctorial thesis deals with the mechanical analysis of the uniaxial tensile behavior of TRC specimen under dynamical tensile loading. A corresponding analytical model is firstly formulated. Furthermore, a tested TRC tensile specimen and the corresponding fiber crack bridging behavior (cracked stage) are also analyzed by means of the Finite Element modeling approach by conducting 3-dimensional heterogeneous modelsTextil bewehrter Beton (Textilbeton) ist ein neues Baumaterial mit zunehmender Verwendung in modernen Ingenieuranwendungen. Die experimentellen Untersuchen an Textilbeton zeigen Mehrfachrissbildung, die zu Betonriss- und Faserauszugsmechanismen korrespondieren. Das Ziel dieser Forschungsarbeit ist die mechanische Untersuchung des Faserauszugsmechanismus unter dynamischer Belastung. Hierzu werden geeignete Materialmodelle für das Matrix-Faser-Interface vorgeschlagen, die zwei mechanische Phänomene, nämlich das Schädigungsverhalten und den Dehnraten-Effekt, berücksichtigen. Diese Materialmodelle sind das elastische Schädigungsmodell, das viskoelastische Modell und zwei entwickelte viskoelastische Schädigungsmodelle. Zudem wird ein analytisches Modell zum Faserauszugsmechanismus bereitgestellt, wobei die beschreibende Bewegungsgleichung aufgestellt und geschlossene, analytische Lösungen unter dynamischer Erregung durch eine harmonische Auszugsverschiebung am Faserende gefunden werden. Diese analytischen Lösungen werden für zwei Materialmodelle, das elastische Schädigungsmodell und das viskoelastische Modell, hergeleitet. Außerdem wird die dynamische Antwort für den Fall einer linear ansteigenden Auszugsverschiebung mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit gesucht. Zu dieser dynamischen Belastung wurde für die numerische Lösung der entsprechenden nichtlinearen Differentialgleichung ein diskretesModell (DISCRETE MODEL) entwickelt und mit einem iterativen Lösungsverfahren gelöst. Darüber hinaus wurde ein Vergleich zwischen den Ergebnissen, die bei Verwendung der unterschiedlichen vorgeschlagenen Materialgesetze für das Interface erhalten wurden, durchgeführt. Das elastische Schädigungsmodell kann zum einen mit einem von der Schlupfrate abhängigen dynamischen Vergrößerungsfaktor (DIF) für die Verbundfestigkeit bzw. die Steifigkeit des Interface verwendet werden. Zum anderen werden die Dehnraten-Effekte durch die viskosen und viskoelastischen Anteile in den entwickelten viskoelastischen Schädigungsmodellen abgebildet. Der zweite Teil dieser Dissertation behandelt die mechanische Untersuchung des uniaxialen Zugverhaltens von Textilbeton unter dynamischer Zugbelastung. Ein zugehöriges analytisches Modell wird zuerst formuliert. Zudem werden der Mehrfachrissbildungszustand und der Faserrissüberbrückungsmechanismus an einem Textilbetonprobekörper mittels einer Finite-Elemente-Analyse an einem dreidimensionalen, heterogenen Modell untersucht

Full textAbstract:
Corrosion of reinforcing bars is the major cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and many coastal regions around the world. This deterioration leads to a loss of serviceability and functionality and ultimately affects the structural safety. The objective of this research is to formulate and implement a general stochastic finite element analysis (SFEA) framework for the time-dependent reliability analysis of RC beams with corroding flexural reinforcement. The framework is based on the integration of nonlinear finite element and reliability analyses through an iterative response surface methodology (RSM). Corrosion-induced damage is modelled through the combined effects of gradual loss of the cross-sectional area of the steel reinforcement and the reduction bond between steel and concrete for increasing levels of corrosion. Uncertainties in corrosion rate, material properties, and imposed actions are modelled as random variables. Effective implementation of the framework is achieved by the coupling of commercial finite element and reliability software. Application of the software is demonstrated through a case study of a simply-supported RC girder with tension reinforcement subjected to the effects of uniform (general) corrosion, in which two limit states are considered: (i) a deflection serviceability limit state and (ii) flexural strength ultimate limit state. The results of the case study show that general corrosion leads to a very significant decrease in the reliability of the RC beam both in terms of flexural strength and maximum deflections. The loss of strength and serviceability was shown to be predominantly caused by the loss of bond strength, whereas the gradual reduction of the cross-sectional area of tension reinforcement was found to be insignificant. The load-deflection response is also significantly affected by the deterioration of bond strength (flexural strength and stiffness). The probability of failure at the end of service life, due to the effects of uniform corrosion-induced degradation, is observed to be approximately an order of magnitude higher than in the absence of corrosion. Furthermore, the results suggest that flexural resistance of corroded RC beams is controlled by the anchorage (bond) of the bars and not by the yielding of fully bonded tensile reinforcement at failure. This is significant since the end regions can be severely corroded due to chloride, moisture, and oxygen access at connections and expansion joints. The research strongly suggests that bond damage must be considered in the assessment of the time-dependent reliability of RC beams subjected to general corrosion.

Des méthodes micromécaniques spécifiques ont été développées pour la détermination du comportement effectif de matériaux cellulaires dotés d’une architecture discrète à l’échelle microscopique. La méthode d’homogénéisation discrète a été appliquée à des structures tissées monocouches ainsi qu’à l’os trabéculaire. La topologie discrète initiale de ces milieux est remplacée à l’échelle mésoscopique par un milieu effectif anisotrope micropolaire, qui rend compte des effets d’échelles observés. Ces méthodes d’homogénéisation permettent d’accéder à des propriétés classiques et non classiques dont la mesure expérimentale est souvent difficile. Des modèles 3D ont été développé afin de décrire la rupture fragile et ductile de l’os trabéculaire, incorporant des effets de taille des surfaces d’écoulement plastique. Nous avons construit par des analyses éléments finis de la microstructure de l’os trabéculaire un milieu de substitution 3D homogène, orthotrope de type couple de contraintes, sur la base d’une équivalence en énergie. Les tissus osseux ont la capacité d’adapter leur densité locale et leur taille et forme aux stimuli mécaniques. Nous avons développé des modèles de remodelage interne et externe dans le cadre de la thermodynamique des processus irréversibles, aux échelles cellulaire et macroscopique. Finalement, le remodelage interne anisotrope a été couplé à l’endommagement de fatigue, dans le cadre de la théorie continue de l’endommagementA methodology based on micromechanics has been developed to determine the effective behavior of network materials endowed with a discrete architecture at the microscopic level. It relies on the discrete homogenization method, which has been applied to textile monolayers and trabecular bones. The initially discrete topology of the considered network materials results after homogenization at the mesoscopic level in anisotropic micropolar effective continuum, which proves able to capture the observed internal scale effects. Such micromechanical methods are useful to remedy the difficulty to measure the effective mechanical properties at the intermediate mesoscopic level scale. The bending and torsion responses of vertebral trabecular bone beam specimens are formulated in both static and dynamic situations, based on the Cosserat theory. 3D models have been developed for describing the multiaxial yield and brittle fracture behavior of trabecular bone, including the analysis of size-dependent non-classical plastic yield. We have constructed by FE analyses a homogeneous, orthotropic couple-stress continuum model as a substitute of the 3D periodic heterogeneous cellular solid model of vertebral trabecular bone, based on the equivalent strain energy approach. Bone tissues are able to adapt their local density and load bearing capacities as well as their size and shape to mechanical stimuli. We have developed models for combined internal and external bone remodeling in the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes, at both the cellular and macroscopic levels. We lastly combined anisotropic internal remodeling with fatigue continuum damage

La balistique lésionnelle, carrefour de l’expertise balistique et de la médecine légale, est fréquemment confrontée à l’évaluation et la caractérisation de plaies balistiques crâniennes. De nombreuses recherches ont été effectuées sur les traumatismes de l’extrémité cervico-céphaliques dans une vision d’amélioration de la sécurité mais celles dans le domaine de la balistique sont quasi inexistantesou empreintes de certitudes non démontrées. Le premier objectif de ce travail a été demettre en place un protocole de tirs d’essai sur des voutes crâniennes d’animal dont la structure est comparable à celle de l’homme. Ce setup original, alliant la technologie d’enregistrement vidéo à haute vitesse et l’analyse des dégâts en microtomographie, a permis de mettre en exergue des relations entre vitesse d’impact, vitesse de sortie, énergie dissipée et dommages créés. Ils contredisent souvent certaines théories jusque là proposées et répondant ainsi à notre deuxième objectif. Les nombreuses données acquises par l’expérimentation pourront utilement éclairer l’expert en balistique lésionnelle dans l’argumentation de ses hypothèses quant à l’utilisation d’un couple arme-munition plutôt qu’un autre. Cette étude propose également un nouveau modèle quant à la cinématique complète de l’interaction entre le projectile et la structure osseuseWound ballistics is at the crossing between ballistics and legal medicine. It frequently has to tackle skull gunshot wounds evaluation and characterization. Many researches have been made around head and skull traumas, aiming at an improvement of security devices, but considering the field of ballistics, researches are either inexistent or marred by undemonstrated certainties. This work first aims at setting a firing protocol out, using animal skull bones that are similar with humans’. This original setup allies high speed video recordings and damage analysis with microtomography. It has shown up relationships between impact speed, exit speed, dissipated energy and observed damages. It comes in contradiction with many models formerly exposed, and hence fulfills our second objective. Important data acquired from experiments can show as very useful for wound ballistics expert to support one of his hypothesis about which firearms and ammunition type were used. This work eventually proposes a new model explaining the interaction between projectile and bone structure during damage creation

Dans cette thèse, plusieurs approches de modélisation de composites renforcés par des fibres sont proposées. Le matériau étudié est le béton fibré, et dans ce modèle, on tient compte de l’influence de trois constituants : le béton, les fibres, et la liaison entre eux. Le comportement du béton est analysé avec un modèle d’endommagement, les fibres d'acier sont considérées comme élastiques linéaires, et le comportement sur l'interface est décrit avec une loi de glissement avec l’extraction complète de la fibre. Une approche multi-échelle pour coupler tous les constituants est proposée, dans laquelle le calcul à l'échelle macro est effectué en utilisant la procédure de solution operator-split. Cette approche partitionnée divise le calcul en deux phases, globale et locale, dans lesquelles différents mécanismes de rupture sont traités séparément, ce qui est conforme au comportement du composite observé expérimentalement. L'identification des paramètres est effectuée en minimisant l'erreur entre les valeurs calculées et mesurées. Les modèles proposés sont validés par des exemples numériquesIn this thesis, several approaches for modeling fiber-reinforced composites are proposed. The material under consideration is fiber-reinforced concrete, which is composed of a few constituents: concrete, short steel fibers, and the interface between them. The behavior of concrete is described by a damage model with localized failure, fibers are taken to be linear elastic, and the behavior of the interface is modeled with a bond-slip pull-out law. A multi-scale approach for coupling all the constituents is proposed, where the macro-scale computation is carried out using the operator-split solution procedure. This partitioned approach divides the computation in two phases, global and local, where different failure mechanisms are treated separately, which is in accordance with the experimentally observed composite behavior. An inverse model for fiber-reinforced concrete is presented, where the stochastic caracterization of the fibers is known from their distribution inside the domain. Parameter identification is performed by minimizing the error between the computed and measured values. The proposed models are validated through numerical examples

Ce travail à pour but de déterminer le mode d’acquisition des ressources carnées par les groupes d’hominidés au cours du Paléolithique inférieur en Europe. La présence du genre Homo en Europe, antérieur à l’épisode paléomagnétique de Jaramillo est attestée dans plusieurs sites archéologiques. Cette dispersion hors d’Afrique est signalée par des industries lithiques appartenant à l’horizon culturel du Préoldowayen et par des restes squelettiques affiliés au genre Homo. Cette étude est axée sur l’analyse taphonomique et archéozoologique, de trois assemblages fauniques associés à une industrie du mode 1 (Barranco León, Fuente Nueva 3, la grotte du Vallonnet) et un assemblage associé à une industrie du mode 2 (la Caune de l’Arago). Les analyses permettent de comprendre les processus de formation de ces assemblages en contexte de plein air et en grotte et d’estimer la part des agents qui sont intervenus. L’implication des Hommes est attestée dans la modification des carcasses de grands mammifères. Des ossements présentent des stries, qui impliquent que les éclats étaient bien utilisés pour prélever la chair et une fracturation caractéristique, liée à l’éclatement des os par les outils aménagés. L’analyse des assemblages osseux révèle une variabilité des systèmes d’approvisionnement en matière carnée. La comparaison de ces accumulations formées en grotte et en plein air, apportent une meilleure compréhension des comportements de subsistances et permet de proposer un aperçu de la variabilité et de la chronologie des comportements alimentaires des Hommes en Europe méridionale pendant le Pléistocène inférieur et moyenThe purpose of this work is determinated the mode of acquisition of the meat-based resources by the groups of hominids during the lower Palaeolithic in Europe. The presence of the genus Homo in Europe previous to the paleomagnetic Jaramillo event, is attested in several archeological sites. This dispersal outside Africa is indicated by litic industry belonging to the cultural horizon of Préoldowayen and by human fossils affiliated to genus Homo. This study is centred on taphonomical and zooarcheological analysis, of three faunal assemblages associated with a mode 1 industry (Barranco León, Fuente Nueva 3, the Vallonnet cave) and an assemblage associated with a mode 2 industry (Caune de l' Arago). Analyses allow to understand the processes formation of these assemblages in open air site and in cave, and to estimate the part of the agents who intervened. The implication of human is attested in the modification of the carcasses of big mammals. Bones present cutmarks which imply that flakes were used to discard flesh and a characteristic fracturation connected to the percussion of bones by stones tools. The analysis of the bones assemblages reveals a variability of the systems of supply in meat-based subject. The comparison of theses accumulations, bring a better understanding of the subsistences behavior and allows to propose an outline of the variability and the chronology of the eating habits of the Paleolitic People in Southern Europe during Lower and Middle Pleistocene

L'originalité du modèle proposé réside dans le nombre limité de paramètres physiques sur lesquels il est fondé. Ces paramètres physiques sont ensuite déterminés expérimentalement via la réalisation d'une campagne d'essais d'arrachement. Trois types de bétons, dont deux bétons de granulats de béton recyclé, sont étudiés.

This work focuses on the influence of recycled concrete aggregate on rebar-concrete bond. First, an analytical madel of the rebar-concrete bond is developed. The original feature of this modellies in the limited number of non-free physically-based parameters on which it is based. These parameters are then experimentally determined through a pull out test campaign. Three types of concrete, including two recycled aggregate concretes, are studied. Pull-out test monitoring is completed by acoustic measurements in order to obtain data from inside the concrete bulk, where the reinforcing bar is located

A análise numérica foi feita com o auxílio do aplicativo ABAQUS, baseado no método dos elementos finitos. O modelo constitutivo usado para o concreto é fundamentado na mecânica do dano contínuo. Foram realizados ensaios experimentais com espécimes de concreto contendo uma barra de aço colocada em seu eixo e, também, com vigas de concreto armado sub-armadas e com armadura dupla, com seção transversal retangular e tipo T. Comparações dos resultados obtidos nos ensaios experimentais com as respostas da análise numérica são apresentadas e discutidas. Ao final, propõem-se expressões que quantificam a perda de rigidez em função do número de ciclos aplicado.The main purpose of this research is to analyze the experimental and theoretical behavior of reinforced concrete beams, in order to quantify the stiffness loss, by calculating successive deflections during the cyclic loads application, under service loads. The emphasis of this research is the numerical analysis. The modeling of steel-concrete interface is done taking into account the contact between the steel bars (with their ribs) and the concrete surrounding the bars. The numerical analysis was made by using the software ABAQUS, based on the finite element method. The concretes constitutive model is based on the continuous damage mechanics. The experimental tests were made with cylinder concrete specimens with an axial bar and rectangular and T cross section reinforced concrete beams, where some had only tension reinforcement and others had tension and compression reinforcement. Comparisons between experimental and numerical results are presented and discussed. At the end expressions to quantify the stiffness loss due to number of cycles are proposed.

Es wurde ein hydrostatischer Verbundstrangpressprozess analysiert, bei dem das Kernmaterial aus Magnesium und das Mantelmaterial aus Aluminium besteht. Ausgehend von der Problematik, dass die Verbunde eine starke Vorschädigung in Form von Rissen im Bereich der Grenzschicht zwischen den Verbundpartner aufwiesen, wurde der Prozess analysiert. Mit Hilfe der numerischen FEM-Simulation wurde ein Berechnungsmodell aufgebaut, anhand dessen der Prozess detailliert und maßgeblich hinsichtlich der wirkenden Spannungen und auftretenden Dehnungen untersucht wurde. Es wurden die Größen Kontaktschubspannung und axiale Umformgraddifferenz identifiziert, die einen Zusammenhang aufzeigten zwischen ihrer Änderung und der aufgetretenen Qualität im Strang. Für eine verbesserte Aussagequalität und bedingt durch die vielen Wechselwirkungen der beeinflussenden Parameter im Prozess wurde die Methode der statistischen Versuchsplanung (DoE) hinzugezogen. Auf Basis dieser Ergebnisse wurde der Prozess optimiert, in dem die Matrizengeometrie als ein beeinflussender Parameter angepasst worden ist, so dass ein gleichmäßigerer Werkstofffluss gewährleistet und die Strangqualität verbessert werden konnte. Im Folgenden wurde ein integratives, empirisches Verbundstrangpressmodell entwickelt, das es ermöglicht, die Verbundqualität, die Verbundfestigkeit und die Dicke der sich ausbildenden Grenzschicht zu berechnenA compound made of aluminum (sleeve material) and magnesium (core material) was analyzed. The compound was built up in a hydrostatic co-extrusion process. First investigations showed damage (cracks) in the interface between the aluminum and the magnesium. Regarding the damage an optimization of the process was necessary. The FEM simulation was used to analyze the process. The focus of the analysis was the stresses and strains in the forming zone. A first result was that high contact shear stresses occurred in the interface. These stresses damaged the interface. Further investigations showed big strain differences between both of the materials. These differences caused in the different flow behaviour (yield stresses) of both materials. A better understanding was reached by a design of experiment (doe). This analysis showed the interactions between the different parameters and the influence of the parameters itself. Parameters with a big influence on the compound quality are the yield stresses, the die design, the friction and the billet design. The first result was an improvement of the compound quality by changing the die design. Therefore, an impeccable compound quality could be reached. Furthermore the results of analysis lead to an embracing empirical compound extrusion model. This consists of three single models. The first model was the quality model. This model allows to predict the compound quality with respect to the big influencing parameters. The second model was a bond strength model. This model gives the possibility to compute the strength of the interface. And at last the third model was the diffusion model. The embracing compound extrusion model allows to make a statement about the compound quality and strength before any real trials are carried out

It was found that a significant improvement of mechanical properties of CFRPs can be achieved by the adjustment of the matrix properties such as toughness and CF/matrix adhesion via the chemical modification, as well as the physical modification by a small amount of cheap and environment-friendly nano fibers. Based on investigation of fracture mechanisms at macro/micro scale, the effects of matrix properties and nano fiber on the mechanical properties of CFRP have been discussed. Subsequently, the relationship has been characterized by a numerical model to show how to modulate the parameters of the matrix properties to achieve excellent fatigue properties of CFRP.博士(工学)

On étudie le comportement thermomécanique de colis de déchets vitrifiés par modélisation multi- physiques. Les colis sont réalisés avec un conteneur en acier inoxydable dans lequel est coulé un verre borosilicaté. Pour le verre, la méthode des éléments finis est employée pour les calculs thermiques, la relaxation structurale du volume massique, le comportement viscoélastique et l’endommagement. Ces lois consécutives modélisent l’influence de la sollicitation thermique initiale. La relaxation structurale du verre, issue du modèle TNM-KAHR, permet la prise en compte d’effets fondamentaux quant à la transition vitreuse, en fonction des traitements thermiques expérimentaux et simulés. Lorsque le verre dépasse localement une criticité du champ de contrainte, on procède au couplage du calcul de structure viscoélastique, pour le verre solide en relaxation,avec la mécanique de l’endommagement qui réactualise la rigidité et les contraintes en mode I et en mode II. On applique cette méthodologie complète de simulation à l’issue des adaptations nécessaires au cas de blocs de verre massifs en solidification. Ces modèles permettent alors l’obtention de surfaces de fracturation quantifiées, dans le verre, à partir de l’énergie dissipée par le modèle d’endommagementWe study the thermomechanical behavior of vitrified waste packages by multiphysics modeling. The packages are manufactured by the cast of borosilicate glass into stainless steel canisters. The finite element method is used for the thermal computations.In the glass, the finite element analysis is also used to compute the specific volume evolution and the viscoelastic behavior, due to the structural relaxation of glass, as well as the simulation of the damage behavior. These consecutive behavior laws model theinfluence of the initial thermal response. Glass structural relaxation is computed using the TNM-KAHRmodel, which allows us to take into account fundamental phenomena of the glass transition, depending on the results of experimental and simulated thermal treatments. For the solid glass within this relaxation process, the stress may locally increase beyond critical values. The viscoelastic structure simulation is then coupled with continuum damage mechanics where stresses and stiffness are updated in mode I and mode II. We apply this simulation protocol after adopting conditions relative to the case of these manufactured bulky solidifying glass casts. The models then allow us to quantify the cracking surfaces inside the glass fromthe energy dissipated within the damagemodel

Introdução: O acesso pela via da fossa craniana média para colocação do implante coclear provou ser uma alternativa valiosa em pacientes com otite média crônica e cavidades de mastoidectomia instáveis, cócleas parcialmente ossificadas e em alguns casos de displasia do ouvido interno. Até hoje não existem pesquisas que descrevam se a inserção do feixe de eletrodos pela via da fossa média pode ser feita com um mínimo de traumatismo intracoclear, comparável ao observado nas inserções pela janela redonda. Objetivo: Avaliar o trauma intracoclear com dois modelos distintos de implante quando o feixe de eletrodos é inserido por cocleostomia na fossa craniana média em ossos temporais. Método: 20 ossos temporais retirados antes de 24 horas pós-óbito, foram implantados através do local da cocleostomia no giro basal da cóclea identificado no assoalho da fossa cerebral média. Dez peças receberam um implante reto e dez um pré-curvado, e foram fixadas em resina epóxi. Foi realizada tomografia computadorizada para determinar a colocação adequada do feixe eletrodos, profundidade de inserção e a distância entre a janela redonda e a cocleostomia. Por último, as peças foram polidas em série, tingidas e visualizadas por estereomicroscópio para avaliar a posição do feixe e trauma intracoclear. Resultados: A tomografia mostrou um posicionamento intracoclear do feixe de eletrodos nas 20 peças. No grupo dos implantes retos a média de eletrodos inserido foi 12,3 (10 a 14) e dos pré-curvados 15,1 (14 a 16) com uma diferença significativa (U=78, p=0,0001). A mediana de profundidade de inserção foi maior para o eletrodo pré-curvado (14,5mm) que para o reto (12,5mm) com diferenças estatisticamente significativas (U = 66, p = 0,021). Só uma das 20 inserções foi atraumática e 70% tiveram graus de trauma altos (grau 3 ou 4). Não foram observadas diferenças significativas do grau de trauma entre os dois tipos de feixes nem quando as inserções foram no sentido da janela redonda, comparado com o sentido do giro médio. Conclusões: A técnica cirúrgica utilizada permitiu a inserção do feixe de eletrodos na cóclea em todas as peças, porém sem garantir uma inserção na escala timpânica e com alto risco de trauma nas microestruturas da cócleaIntroduction: In recent years, a middle fossa approach has been described for the insertion of cochlear implants, and it proved to be a reliable alternative for implantation in patients with chronic supurative otitis media, unstable mastoid cavities with recurrent otorrhea, partially ossified cochlea and in some cases of inner ear dysplasia. Until now, no research has been done to describe if this approach allows for anatomic preservation and non-traumatic insertions comparable to those through the round window. Objective: To evaluate cochlear trauma when the cochlear implant electrode is inserted through a middle fossa approach by means of histologic and imaging studies in temporal bones. Methods: 20 temporal bones retrieved before 24 hours after death were implanted through a middle cranial fossa cochleostomy in the basal turn of the cochlea. Ten received a straight electrode and 10 a perimodiolar electrode. After reducing the bone size with preservation of the inner ear structures, the temporal bones were fixed, dehydrated and embedded in an epoxy resin. CT scans were performed to determine if an adequate direction of insertion was attained, the depth of insertion and the distance between the cochleostomy and the round window. At last, the samples were polished by micro-grinding technique and microscopically visualized to evaluate intracochlear trauma. Results: The CT-scan showed an adequate intracoclear position of the electrode in all the samples. In the straight electrode group the average number of inserted electrodes was 12.3 (10 to 14) against 15.1 (14- 16) for the perimodiolar (U=78, p=0.0001). The median depth of insertion was significantly larger for the perimodiolar electrode group (14.4mm vs. 12.5mm U=66, p = 0.021). Only one atraumatic insertion was achieved and 70% of the samples had important trauma (grades 3 and 4). No differences were identified for the trauma grades between the two groups of electrodes. Also, there were no differences in trauma if the cochlear implants were inserted in the direction of the basal turn of the cochlea or in the direction of the middle and apical turns. Conclusions: The surgical technique that was used allowed for a proper intracochlear insertion of the electrodes in all 20 temporal bones but it does not guarantee a correct scala tympani position and carries high trauma risk for the intracochlear microstructures

Full textAbstract:
Die rheumatoide Arthritis ist eine chronisch-entzündliche Bindegewebserkrankung mit symmetrischem Befall der Gelenke. Die genaue Ätiologie ist bisher unbekannt. Aktivierte synoviale Fibroblasten sollen durch gesteigerte Adhäsion und Produktion von proinflammatorischen Zytokinen und Matrix-lysierenden Proteasen maßgeblich an der Gelenkdestruktion beteiligt sein. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, ein neues in-vivo-Knorpeldestruktions-Modell zu etablieren, in welchem unter immunkompetenten Bedingungen, die Invasion und Destruktion von Gelenkknorpel durch die Fibroblasten-Zelllinie LS48 über einen längeren Zeitraum simuliert werden kann. Die am Institut für klinische Immunologie der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Leipzig etablierte Zelllinie LS48 wurde in die ipsilateralen Kniegelenke von BALB/c-Mäusen injiziert. Die dadurch induzierte Gewebsdestruktion wurde über zehn Wochen in zweiwöchigem Abstand histopathologisch beurteilt und klassifiziert. Als vergleichende Fibroblasten-Zelllinie wurden nicht-invasive NIH/3T3-Zellen eingesetzt. An Hand der Score-Parameter Zellinvasion, Pannusformation und Knorpeldestruktion wurde eine mäßige bis schwer-wiegende Gewebsdestruktion durch die LS48-Zellen bereits ab der zweiten Untersuchungswoche lichtmikroskopisch nachgewiesen, ohne dass dabei pathologische Effekte in den kontralateralen Kniegelenken aufgetreten sind. Polarisationsmikroskopisch wurden für den Parameter Knorpeldestruktion vergleichbare Ergebnisse erzielt. Damit wurde gezeigt, dass das Modell BALB/c LS48 ein erfolgversprechendes Instrument darstellt, das zur Testung neuer therapeutischer Strategien gegen die Gelenkdestruktion verwendet werden kann. Inwieweit die Auseinandersetzung der LS48-Zellen mit dem spezifischen Immunsystem der BALB/c-Maus Auswirkungen auf den Verlauf der Gewebsdestruktion hat, sollte in weiterführenden Experimenten untersucht werden.
