Prediction of Tensile Strain Capacity for X52 Steel Pipeline Materials Using the Extended Finite Element Method

Strain-based design (SBD) plays an important role in pipeline design and assessment of pipelines subjected to geo-hazards.Under such hazards, a pipe can be subjected to substantial plastic strains, leading to tensile failure at locations of girth weld flaws.For SBD, the finite element method (FEM) can be a reliable tool lcpl chevrons to calculate t

Life cycle analysis of kidney gene expression in male F344 rats.

Age is a predisposing condition for susceptibility to chronic kidney disease and progression as well as acute kidney injury that may arise due to the adverse effects of some drugs.Age-related differences in kidney biology, therefore, are a key concern in understanding drug safety and disease progression.We hypothesize that the underlying suite of g
