Design for Manufacturing: An Engineer’s Guide to Machine Tools
No full textYoung orthopedic engineers face a knowledge gap when designing a device that is to be manufactured with traditional machine tools.
Industry and academic leaders have asked BONEZONE to address these design for manufacturing issues, so we asked Deborah Munro, D.Eng., to author a series of articles that could provide basic knowledge of major machining tool operation, as well as strengths and limitations of each technology to help improve engineers’ designs.
Dr. Munro, who has worked at orthopedic device companies and taught engineering at the university level, says that overarching issues stem from a lack of hands-on education required for today’s engineering degrees. Universities arm engineers with the ability to create complex designs, but don’t teach how to machine them. Therefore, engineers often create designs that overcomplicate or even prohibit the fabrication of a part, Munro says.
Here, we’ve taken Dr. Munro’s articles on the drill press, mill [and others not attached]
'Looking Back with Alice Munro'
No full textIn ‘Walker Brothers Cowboy’, the young narrator, walking with her father on the shores of Lake Huron, struggles to imagine a time before and after her own lifespan. At the end of the 20th century, she thinks, she will be ‘barely alive’. When Alice Munro wrote those words, she was already in her mid-thirties, an author of short stories in small circulation literary magazines. In 2015, she is indeed, as the narrator puts it, ‘old, old’; but she is a Nobel prize winner, feted by her peers. What happened in between those years, and why is Alice Munro so important a figure in world literature? How does Dance of the Happy Shades reveal her abiding themes and her distinctive approach to the short story form? And how do we re-evaluate those stories from a 21st century perspective
Bone remodelling in the natural acetabulum is influenced by muscle force-induced bone stress
No full textA modelling framework using the international Physiome Project is presented for evaluating the role of muscles on acetabular stress patterns in the natural hip. The novel developments include the following: (i) an efficient method for model generation with validation; (ii) the inclusion of electromyography-estimated muscle forces from gait; and (iii) the role that muscles play in the hip stress pattern. The 3D finite element hip model includes anatomically based muscle area attachments, material properties derived from Hounsfield units and validation against an Instron compression test. The primary outcome from this study is that hip loading applied as anatomically accurate muscle forces redistributes the stress pattern and reduces peak stress throughout the pelvis and within the acetabulum compared with applying the same net hip force without muscles through the femur. Muscle forces also increased stress where large muscles have small insertion sites. This has implications for the hip where bone stress and strain are key excitation variables used to initiate bone remodelling based on the strain-based bone remodelling theory. Inclusion of muscle forces reduces the predicted sites and degree of remodelling. The secondary outcome is that the key muscles that influenced remodelling in the acetabulum were the rectus femoris, adductor magnus and iliacus.No Full Tex
History Wars
No full textIn 1993, Manning Clark came under severe (posthumous) attack in the pages of Quadrant by none other than Peter Ryan, who had published five of the six volumes of Clark's epic A History of Australia. In applying what he called "an overdue axe to a tall poppy", Ryan lambasted the History as “an imposition on Australian credulity” and declared its author a fraud, both as a historian and a person. This unprecedented public assault by a publisher on his best-selling author was a sensation at the time and remains lodged in the public memory. In History Wars, Doug Munro forensically examines the right and wrongs of Ryan’s allegations, concluding that Clark was more sinned against than sinning and that Ryan repeatedly misrepresented the situation. More than just telling a story, Munro places the Ryan-Clark controversy within the context of Australia’s History Wars. This book is an illuminating saga of that ongoing contest.’ — James Curran, University of Sydney ‘The Ryan-Clark controversy … speaks to the place of Manning Clark in Australia’s national imagination. Had Ryan taken his axe to another historian, it’s unlikely that we would be still talking about it 30 years later. But Clark was the author and keeper of Australia’s national story, however imperfect his scholarship and however blinkered that story. Few, if any, historians in the Anglo-American world have occupied the space that Clark occupied by dint of will, force of personality, and felicity of pen.’ — Donald Wright, University of New Brunswic

Alice Munro: The Stories of Runaway
No full textThis essay will analyze and explicate the stories in Munro’s latest collection, Runaway, in order to present the reader with a description of her artistic interests, motifs and techniques in this work. The author finds remarkable similarities among the stories, even as they explore very different female characters and situations. The author notes the delicacy and precision with which Munro tracks the progress of her characters’ thoughts and feelings, often in a kind of interior dialogue with themselves. Love, or its absence, is the usual subject matter in the stories – most often between a woman and a man, but sometimes between parent and child – and the author shows how Munro’s characters deal with the “old confusions or obligations” engendered by this emotion. Finally, the author cites several examples in describing Munro’s style of presenting her characters, one typified by colloquial and self-deprecating dialogue, but punctuated at times by language of great poetic and emotional power
