Schematic of contact area for the JKR model JKR test with a rigid bead on a deformable planar material: complete cycle. To incorporate the effect of adhesion in Hertzian contact, Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts [5] formulated the JKR theory of adhesive contact using a balance between the stored elastic energy and the loss in surface energy. The ...
A total Waterlow score ≥10 indicates risk for pressure ulcer. A high risk score is ≥15. A very high risk exists at scores ≥20. The reverse side of the Waterlow card lists examples of preventive aids and interventions. [2]
Finally there are the processes at the contact interface: compression and adhesion in the direction perpendicular to the interface, and friction and micro-slip in the tangential directions. The last aspect is the primary concern of contact mechanics. It is described in terms of so-called contact conditions. For the direction perpendicular to ...

Pressure ulcers can trigger other ailments, cause considerable suffering, and can be expensive to treat. Some complications include autonomic dysreflexia, bladder distension, bone infection, pyarthrosis, sepsis, amyloidosis, anemia, urethral fistula, gangrene and very rarely malignant transformation (Marjolin's ulcer – secondary carcinomas in chronic wounds).
Six men have been jailed after a man was killed during a burglary in North Lincolnshire. Ian Staves, 44, was found dead at his home in Cherry Lane, Wootton, on 12 September 2022.
PCS Instruments Micro-pitting Rig (MPR) is a specialised testing instrument used in the field of tribology and mechanical engineering to study micro-pitting, a type of surface damage that occurs in lubricated rolling and sliding contact systems. The MPR is designed to simulate real-world operating conditions by subjecting test specimens, often ...
