Design of a neutral elastic inhomogeneity via thermal expansion
A neutral elastic inhomogeneity does not affect the existing stress field when inserted into an elastic body. It has been shown that no such inhomogeneity can exist under the classical assumption of a perfectl...

Effective conductivity and the effect of electric current on thermal stress around an arbitrarily shaped inhomogeneity
We consider the electric, thermal and elastic fields in an infinite conductor or semiconductor plate containing an arbitrarily shaped inhomogeneity. Complex variable and numerical methods are used to discuss e...

Calcitonin suppresses intervertebral disk degeneration and preserves lumbar vertebral bone mineral density and bone strength in ovariectomized rats
We investigated the effect of calcitonin (CT) on lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration (LIDD) in rats with ovariectomy-induced osteopenia. CT protected ovariectomized rats from LIDD by, at least in part, mod...

The interaction between a screw dislocation and a circular inhomogeneity in gradient elasticity
The interaction between a screw dislocation and a circular inhomogeneity in gradient elasticity is investigated. The screw dislocation is located inside either the inhomogeneity or the matrix. By using the Fou...
