Background and purpose: The inner pedicle diameter is very important in pedicle screw placement in order to achieve safe and strong posterior stabilization. The optimal pull-out strength can be achieved by a screw which fits into the pedicle medulla. The aim of the present study was to compare the inner and outer pedicle diameters of lumbar pedicles, to determine the inner/outer pedicle diameter ratios, and to develop a simple measure for estimating optimal pedicular screw size.

Deformation Analysis of Elastic-Plastic Two Layer Tubes Subject to Pressure: an Analytical Approach Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2004-06-01) Analytical solutions are obtained for axisymmetric elastic-plastic deformations in tightly fitted concentric tubes with fixed ends subjected to either internal or external pressure. Tresca's yield criterion and its associated flow rule are used to estimate the elastic-plastic response of the assembly. The closed form solutions for all elastic-plastic deformation stages are obtained by assuming linear hardening material behavior. Some numerical examples are handled using the mechanical properties of real eng...
3D plotted PCL scaffolds for stem cell based bone tissue engineering Yilgor, Pinar; Sousa, Rui A.; Reis, Rui L.; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2007-10-04) The ability to control the architecture and strength of a bone tissue engineering scaffold is critical to achieve a harmony between the scaffold and the host tissue. Rapid prototyping (RP) technique is applied to tissue engineering to satisfy this need and to create a scaffold directly from the scanned and digitized image of the defect site. Design and construction of complex structures with different shapes and sizes, at micro and macro scale, with fully interconnected pore structure and appropriate mechan...
Receptance coupling based algorithm for the identification of contact parameters at holder-tool interface Matthias, W.; Özşahin, Orkun; Altintas, Y.; DENKENA, B. (Elsevier BV, 2016-05-01) To identify stable cutting conditions with a high depth of cut, stability lobe diagrams are used. In order to predict these diagrams, frequency response functions (FRF) at the tool tip are required for every tool, holder and machine combination. To reduce the number of experimental tests, receptance coupling substructure analysis (RSCA) is proposed in the literature. In order to take full advantage of this method, contact parameters between holder and tool must be known. To identify these parameters this pa...
ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY USING INDUCED CURRENTS Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (1994-06-01) The mathematical basis of a new imaging modality, Induced Current Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), is investigated. The ultimate aim of this technique is the reconstruction of conductivity distribution of the human body, from voltage measurements made between electrodes placed on the surface, when currents are induced inside the body by applied time varying magnetic fields. In this study the two-dimensional problem is analyzed. A specific 9-coil system for generating nine different exciting magnetic f...
Acoustic radiation from a fluid-filled, subsurface vascular tube with internal turbulent flow due to a constriction Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Spohnholtz, Todd; Martin, Bryn; Loth, Francis; Bassiouny, Hisham S. (Acoustical Society of America (ASA), 2005-08-01) The vibration of a thin-walled cylindrical, compliant viscoelastic tube with internal turbulent flow due to an axisymmetric constriction is studied theoretically and experimentally. Vibration of the tube is considered with internal fluid coupling only, and with coupling to internal-flowing fluid and external stagnant fluid or external tissue-like viscoelastic material. The theoretical analysis includes the adaptation of a model for turbulence in the internal fluid and its vibratory excitation of and interac...
