True Stress and True Strain

Engineering stress is calculated as the load divided by the original, undeformed cross-sectional area. It approximates a material under load. This approximation is especially relevant post-yield in ductile materials. Though engineering stress-strain diagrams are often used for their convenience and accessibility, they can sometimes fall short in accuracy, particularly when dealing with large strain values. In contrast, true stress offers a more precise portrayal. It is computed by dividing the...

In vitro analysis of class switch recombination in mice is challenging due to cytophilic IgE molecules bound to Fc receptors on the surface of B cells. We describe a method for IgE detection using trypsin-mediated cleavage of surface-bound IgE prior to fixation and permeabilization for cytoplasmic fluorescence staining.

Source: Roberto Leon, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA There are two distinct stages in a construction project involving concrete. The first stage involves batching, transporting, and casting fresh concrete. At this stage, the material is viscous, and the workability and finishability are the key performance criteria. The second stage occurs when the hydration process begins shortly after the concrete is placed in the form, and the concrete will...

This protocol presents the configuration of a compression test device capable of precisely measuring the mechanical properties of microstructures in the small-strain region, along with a systematic method for compression testing using this device. The proposed device can be used to analyze various microstructures and the mechanical behavior of polymer-based materials.
FAQs
Pressure in the false lumen can flatten the original channel by pushing inward against the vessel wall. The degree of narrowing may therefore reflect not only the presence of a dissection, but also the pressure relationship between the two channels. This mechanism matters because a more severely narrowed true lumen can restrict downstream perfusion and signal a higher risk of organ ischemia.
A mobile dissection flap can worsen obstruction as it moves during the cardiac cycle. Consequently, the channel’s openness may vary rather than remain fixed throughout each heartbeat. This dynamic behavior is clinically relevant when interpreting vascular imaging and explaining changing blood-flow limitation, because a static snapshot may not fully represent how the obstruction behaves over time.
Both mechanisms can reduce the available true-lumen space, but they do so through adjacent material exerting displacement or pressure on the original channel. Distinguishing whether narrowing is associated with an expanding intramural collection or pressure within a false lumen helps frame the anatomic mechanism. That distinction supports interpretation of imaging findings in aortic dissection and related vascular malperfusion.
Compression becomes especially consequential when it compromises flow to branch vessels. Reduced delivery beyond those branches can produce vascular malperfusion, meaning inadequate blood supply to downstream tissues, with potential ischemic injury to vital organs. For this reason, assessment should address not only the narrowed central channel but also the effects on branch vessels and the organs they supply.
Computed tomography angiography can show the vessel lumen, adjacent false-lumen or intramural changes, and their relationship to branch vessels. Ultrasound provides another way to assess vascular anatomy, while intravascular imaging examines the vessel from within. Using these modalities helps determine the extent of narrowing and its flow-related consequences, supporting recognition of clinically important malperfusion.
Recognition links an anatomic imaging finding to an urgent clinical objective: restoring blood flow before ischemic injury progresses. Management is therefore guided by whether the narrowed true lumen and affected branch vessels are producing malperfusion. In medicine, this connection makes True Lumen Compression more than a structural observation; it becomes a finding that can influence urgency and treatment decisions.
