THERMODYNAMICS OF FATIGUE: DEGRADATION-ENTROPY GENERATION METHODOLOGY FOR SYSTEM AND PROCESS CHARACTERIZATION AND FAILURE ANALYSIS

Thermodynamics of Fatigue: Degradation-Entropy Generation Methodology for System and Process Characterization and Failure Analysis

Formulated is a new instantaneous fatigue model and predictor based on ab initio irreversible thermodynamics.The method combines the first and second laws of thermodynamics with the Helmholtz free energy, then applies the result to the degradation-entropy generation theorem to relate a desired fatigue measure—stress, strain, cycles Ottomans o

NMR Spectroscopy Identifies Chemicals in Cigarette Smoke Condensate That Impair Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Function

Tobacco smoke-related diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with high healthcare burden and mortality rates.Many COPD patients were reported to have muscle atrophy and weakness, with several studies suggesting intrinsic muscle mitochondrial impairment as a possible driver of this phenotype.Whereas much informa
