THE EFFECT OF PENTAGONAL AND OCTAGONAL JOINT DESIGN ON THE FATIGUE STRENGTH OF POLYMER-MATRIX COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Joining methods and suitable geometry selection become an important role
in the bonding of composites. The fatigue strength of adhesively bonded
joint of thick woven type laminated E-glass/ Polymer matrix composites
consist of 22 layers with a layer thickness of 0.5 mm was investigated
experimentally. Frequency was kept constant at 10 Hz for all
experiments, while the load ratio was equal to 0.1, resulting in a
tension-tension fatigue loading. Octagonal and pentagonal tongue and
groove joint design were used in order to join thick composite
materials. Experimental results and SEM analysis of present study
indicated that fatigue strength was strongly influenced by the geometry
of joint design. Claw length and claw width defined in the design were
found to have a significant effect on fatigue strength of adhesively
bonded joints. The octagonal design showed almost two times higher
fatigue strength than pentagonal joint design

Proprioception following the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Tibialis Anterior Tendon Allograft
After the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, a loss of
proprioception is observed and it can continue years after the
operation. The aim of this study is to evaluate proprioception in
standing position at different knee flexion angles in patients who
underwent ACL reconstruction with tibialis anterior tendon allograft.
The study included 34 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with
tibialis anterior tendon allograft and 34 healthy individuals.
Proprioception was evaluated in standing position at 15 degrees, 30
degrees, 60 degrees flexion angles with the active joint position sense
(AJPS) method using digital inclinometer. Proprioception deviation angle
was found to be higher in the operated leg at 30 degrees and 60 degrees
flexion angles in the patient group compared with the other leg (p <
0.05), the biggest proprioception difference was between the 15 degrees
and 60 degrees flexion angles in both the patient and the control group
(p < 0.05) that the difference between 15 degrees and 30 degrees flexion
angles is lowest (p < 0.05), and that these differences are higher in
the operated leg of the patient group compared with the other leg of the
patient group and to the dominant leg of the control group (p < 0.05).
As approximately 4 years after ACL reconstruction with tibialis anterior
tendon allograft, loss of proprioception at 60 degrees knee flexion
continued, ACL injury related to loss of proprioception may occur at
angles higher than 30 degrees flexion. Thus, patients may be provided
with proprioception-enhancing rehabilitation in the long term,
particularly, at flexion angles above medium levels
