Adult Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fracture of the ankle with rupture of the peroneus tertius muscle: a case report

BackgroundTillaux-Chaput tubercle fractures occur in adolescents, which are often associated with the separation of the distal tibial growth plate. These types of fractures are rare in adults and even rarer when accompanied by a rupture of the peroneus tertius muscle. Given the limited number of reported cases, there is limited clinical awareness, resulting in missed diagnoses and delayed treatment, ultimately affecting ankle function.Case presentationWe report a case of an adult patient who experienced a right ankle injury resulting in swelling and pain after a traffic accident. Initial examination failed to identify the rupture of the peroneus tertius muscle, but the patient was observed to have restricted dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot. Surgical exploration through an anterolateral incision confirmed the rupture and the muscle was then repaired. The patient received four weeks of cast immobilization and then engaged in progressive rehabilitation exercises.Discussion and conclusionThis report shares the diagnostic and therapeutic experiences of an adult with a Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fracture associated with peroneus tertius muscle rupture to improve clinical recognition of such injuries, thus preventing misdiagnosis and treatment delays.

Results in Engineering Experimental investigation of drag loss and plate separation behavior of wet clutches under external forces

Understanding the drag loss behavior of wet clutches is crucial for the development of low-loss clutch systems. For non-horizontal installation positions and non-stationary applications, external forces caused by the inclination or vehicle dynamics act on the plates. It has yet to be investigated how external forces influence the plate separation process and distribution and, subsequently, the drag loss behavior. Therefore, this study aimed to fundamentally investigate wet clutches' drag loss and plate separation behavior under the effect of external forces. The investigations were conducted in three steps. First, fundamental knowledge of the plate separation and drag loss behavior was gained. The effects of relevant design and operating parameters on the drag loss behavior were determined then. Separation springs were finally tested to avoid the influence of external forces. The drag loss and plate separation behavior were investigated on a drag torque test rig based on different clutch systems. The external forces were applied by inclining the test rig. The plate separation behavior was determined through image-based measurement of the plate movements. It was found that the plates separate under external forces and that the drag torque curve shows characteristics similar to wet clutches operated without external forces applied. The utilization of the set total clearance depends on the inclination angle. Hence, increasing the set total clearance does not generally imply lower drag losses, but increasing the inclination angle leads to higher drag losses. It was confirmed that the drag loss behavior is not influenced by external forces when using spacing elements. The findings of this study extend the existing body of literature and may support the development process of brake and clutch systems.

Implications of Timanian thrust systems in the Barents Sea and Svalbard on using paleontological constraints for plate tectonics reconstructions

Background The Svalbard Archipelago is commonly believed to have been located at comparable latitude and, possibly, to have been attached to Laurentia in the early Paleozoic (500–420 Ma) based on trilobite assemblage similarities. Trilobite assemblage differences and lack of mixing between Laurentia–Svalbard and Baltica were further used to propose that these continents were separated by the Iapetus Ocean at that time. However, recent structural correlation of Timanian (650–550 Ma) thrust systems throughout the Barents Sea show that Svalbard was already attached to Baltica in the latest Neoproterozoic and remained so during the Phanerozoic. Methods The present study presents a new interpretation of seismic reflection data from the DISKOS database, which were tied to nearby exploration wells. The study uses recently acquired knowledge of the seismic facies of intensely deformed pre-Caledonian rocks and principles of seismic stratigraphy to interpret the data. Results The present study reconciles the proximity of Svalbard and Laurentia with the early accretion of Svalbard to Baltica in the latest Neoproterozoic. It also describes the influence of Timanian thrust systems on paleoenvironments and possible effects on trilobite assemblages, e.g., the lack of mixing between those of Laurentia–Svalbard and Baltica. Conclusions The identification of elongate, emerged topographic highs in the Barents Sea and Svalbard in the late Neoproterozoic–early Paleozoic suggest that paleontological constraints should be considered with greater care when discussing continent separation since thrust systems may act as major faunal barriers within a single tectonic plate. Other factors to consider when discussing plate separation include paleoclimatic belts.

Screening and Identification of Streptomyces lavendulae against Walnut Rot Disease Cytospora chrysosperma

Streptomyces is a biocontrol agent capable of protecting walnut from stem rot disease caused by the fungal pathogen Cytospora chrysosperma. Antagonistic strains were selected from walnut rhizosphere soil for biocontrol of the disease. The strains were screened using C. chrysosperma as the target pathogen. Using dilution coating plate separation method, plate confrontation method, growth rate method and in vitro branch protection experiment, screening the antagonistic actinobacteria with inhibitory effect and control effect on walnut tree rot disease. Strains were identified based on their morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, 16S rDNA sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. The strain F-02 was identified as Streptomyces Lavendulae. Plate confrontation method tests showed that the inhibition rates of the Streptomyces strain F-02 on the pathogens were approximately 80.30%. Further study showed that the filtrate of strain F-02 couldinhibit the C.chrysosperma, and the widths of their inhibition zone reached 1.24±0.15 mm, the prevention effect of 71.03%. For the first time, S.lavendulae was used for the biological control of walnut tree rot. It provides strain resources for the development of walnut rot agents. It has potential applications for biological control of walnut tree rot disease.

Effects of slit plate design on mechanical properties of castable plastic bonded explosives

AbstractThe effect of slit plate design on PBXs quality was systematically studied from the point of view voids and powder‐binder separation phenomenon. PBXN‐109 type explosive samples were prepared in accordance with MIL−E‐82886 and cast through slit plates of different geometry and perforation size. The other casting parameters such as casting time, temperature, pressure, valve opening and PBX amount kept constant to prevent uncertainties arising from these parameters. Density measurements, X‐ray inspection and tensile tests were carried out to evaluate the air removal and powder‐binder separation characteristic of slit plates. Density measurements did not provide a clear interpretation of the powder‐binder separation and deaeration abilities of slit plates. X‐ray inspections and tensile tests showed that the dimensions and design of slit plate perforations have impact on voids and powder‐binder separation in PBXs. The slit plate #E showed relatively poor performance in terms of stress property, attributed to the largest cross‐sectional area per perimeter length ratio of perforations, leading to decrease in air removal ability.

Enigmatic echoes: Exploring brainstem neurenteric cysts - A case series and literature review

Introduction and importanceNeurenteric cysts (NCs) are rare congenital anomalies within the central nervous system, originating from the endodermal layer due to inappropriate embryonic notochordal plate and endoderm separation. Despite constituting a minute fraction of CNS tumors, their diverse clinical presentations and brainstem occurrence pose diagnostic challenges. Case presentationThis study presents a series of three brainstem NCs, detailing demographics, clinical presentations, radiological features, and operative findings. Patients aged 2–40 years exhibited varied symptoms including headaches, vomiting, cranial nerve deficits, and motor/sensory deficits.

Surgical intervention achieved mostly complete resection, with varying outcomes including recurrence and malignant transformation. Clinical discussionThis study sheds light on the rare entity of brainstem NCs, emphasizing their diagnostic complexity. NCs, though constituting a minute fraction of CNS tumors, present a diagnostic challenge due to their diverse clinical presentations and rarity in the brainstem. ConclusionThis study provides insights into brainstem NCs, emphasizing diagnostic complexity and the importance of MRI in accurate diagnosis and surgical intervention. Enhanced collaboration is needed to refine management strategies for these intriguing lesions.

A semi-analytical procedure to determine the ion recombination correction factor in high dose-per-pulse beams.

The conventional theories and methods of determining the ion recombination correction factor, such as Boag theory and the related two voltage method and Jaffé plot extrapolation, do not seem to yield accurate results in FLASH /high dose per pulse (DPP) beams ( 10 mGy DPP). This is due to the presence of a large free electron fraction that distorts the electric field inside the chamber sensitive volume. To understand the influence of these effects on the ion recombination correction factor and to develop new expressions for it, it is necessary to re-visit the underlyingphysics. To present a mathematical procedure to develop an analytical expression for the ion recombination correction factor. The expression is the basis for an extrapolation method so the correction factor can be determined in a clinical setting. A semi-analytical solution method, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), is used to solve the partial differential equations(PDEs) describing the charge carrier physics, including space charge and free electrons. The electron velocity and attachment rate are modeled as functions of the electric field strength. An expression for the charge collection efficiency and ion recombination correction factor are developed. A fit procedure based on this expression is used to compare it to measured data from previously published articles. Another fit procedure using a general equationis also proposed and compared to the data. The series obtained for the charge collection efficiency and the ion recombination correction factor are determined to be asymptotic series and the optimal truncation established. The ion recombination correction factor exhibits a dependency due to the free electron presence. The fit using this expression agrees well with measured data as long as (1) the DPP is below 1 Gy for chambers with a 1 mm plate separation and (2) when the DPP is below 3 Gy for chambers with a 0.5 mm plate separation. In these DPP ranges, the deviation between measured and fit value did not exceed 6%. In both chamber cases the voltage range where the fit applies decreases as DPP increases. The general equationyielded comparable results. The HPM was shown to be applicable to a complex system of PDEs and generate meaningful and novel solutions, as they include both space charge and free electrons. The HPM also lends itself to other chamber geometries. The fit procedure was also shown to yield accurate results for the ion recombination correction up to the 1 Gy DPPlevel.

Enhancing buoyancy-driven convection transport between two vertical parallel plates with symmetric and asymmetric heating using additively manufactured lattice structures

In this paper, we report the findings of our investigation on achieving enhanced heat dissipation through buoyancy-induced flow between two vertically oriented heated plates by packing additively manufactured porous media between them. Lattice structures comprising five different unit cell topologies: Octet, FD-Cube, FD-Cube paired, TKD, and Cube were selected as the chosen porous media. They were separated from the vertical plates by a finite distance for two values of aspect ratio (plate separation distance-to-height ratio) of ∼0.5 and 2. The vertical walls were subjected to a constant heat flux (symmetric and asymmetric). Among the five topologies explored, the Cube lattice structure provided the highest heat dissipation for a wide range of investigated Rayleigh numbers, under different aspect ratios and heating conditions. This superiority can be attributed to the inherent characteristics of the Cube structure, which exhibited the highest permeability, consequently offering the least resistance to the fluid motion. In contrast, the Octet lattice structure, despite its high surface area-to-volume ratio, had the lowest permeability as compared to other topologies and provided the weakest thermal performance. Thermal performance of the remaining topologies—TKD, FD-Cube paired, and FD-Cube—fell between that of the Cube and the Octet. The results clearly indicate that the resultant thermal performance is a complex interplay between the permeability, surface-area-to-volume ratio, and local fluid dynamics. The insights gained from this investigation can offer guidance for designing efficient thermal management systems across various applications involving buoyancy-induced flows.

ИСТОЧНИКИ ПОСТУПЛЕНИЯ ЭНДОГЕННОГО И РУДНОГО ВЕЩЕСТВА В МИРОВОМ ОКЕАНЕ: МОРФОТЕКТОНИКА, ГЕОДИНАМИКА, МАСШТАБ

The basis of the work is the postulate of V. I. Smirnov that the metallogeny of the ocean is determined by basaltoid magmatism. The morphotectonics and geodynamic position of the structures of the World Ocean, the evolution of which was accompanied by the outpouring of basalt lavas to the bottom and their interaction with ocean water and ocean biota, were characterized by the analysis of multi-scale geological and geophysical date. Two categories of global morphostructures are identified as potential sources of endogenic and ore matter: the first are genetically related to the accretion of the lithosphere at the boundaries of plate separation, the second – with intraplate volcanic-tectonic processes. Comparative estimates of the scale of the substance intake for the two categories have been carried out and it is shown that they may differ slightly or be close.

Research on the Influence of Geotextile and Elastic Cushion on the Static Performance of Ballastless Track on Long-Span Cable-Stayed Bridges

The elastic cushion is mostly used between the layers of ballastless tracks laid on a large-span cable-stayed bridge with a main span of more than 300 m. The rubber material is easy to harden and age, the geotextile has good acid-alkali resistance and antiwear performance, and the feasibility of geotextile application on the large-span cable-stayed bridge can be explored. The coupling model of a long-span cable-stayed bridge and the ballastless track was established to analyze the longitudinal mechanical characteristics of the seamless line, the deformation of the track structure, and the separation of the track plate and base plate under different loads. The results show that the application of geotextile or elastic cushion has little effect on the longitudinal mechanical properties of seamless lines. Compared to the elastic cushion, laying the geotextile increases the longitudinal stress of the slab by 0.13 Mpa, 0.025 Mpa, and 0.06 Mpa under different types of loads. The strength calculation of the seamless track is within the safety range. Laying elastic cushion can restrain the generation of separation under vertical loads, but there is no effect laying elastic cushion under temperature loads and braking loads, and the height of separation was less than 0.4 mm. The stress and deformation of the ballastless track do not exceed the standard when applying geotextile; it is feasible to apply geotextile on ballastless tracks on a large-span cable-stayed bridge. The next step is to study the vehicle–bridge–track dynamic response when elastic cushion and geotextile are laid.

Engineered pine endophytic Bacillus toyonensis with nematocidal and colonization abilities for pine wilt disease control.

The pinewood nematode (PWN) is responsible for causing pine wilt disease (PWD), which has led to the significant decline of conifer species in Eurasian forests and has become a globally invasive quarantine pest. Manipulating plant-associated microbes to control nematodes is an important strategy for sustainable pest management. However, it has proven difficult to find pine-associated bacteria that possess both nematocidal activity and the ability to colonize pine tissues. The stress experiments with turpentine and pine tissue extract were carried out to screen for the desired target strain that could adapt to the internal environment of pine trees. This strain was used to construct an engineered nematocidal strain. Additionally, a fluorescent strain was constructed to determine its dispersal ability in Pinus massoniana seedlings through plate separation, PCR detection, and fluorescence microscopy observations. The engineered nematocidal strain was tested in the greenhouse experiment to assess its ability to effectively protect P. massoniana seedlings from nematode infection. This study isolated a Bacillus toyonensis strain Bxy19 from the healthy pine stem, which showed exceptional tolerance in stress experiments. An engineered nematocidal strain Bxy19P3C6 was constructed, which expressed the Cry6Aa crystal protein and exhibited nematocidal activity. The fluorescent strain Bxy19GFP was also constructed and used to test its dispersal ability. It was observed to enter the needles of the seedlings through the stomata and colonize the vascular bundle after being sprayed on the seedlings. The strain was observed to colonize and spread in the tracheid after being injected into the stems. The strain could colonize the seedlings and persist for at least 50 days. Furthermore, the greenhouse experiments indicated that both spraying and injecting the engineered strain Bxy19P3C6 had considerable efficacy against nematode infection. The evidence of the colonization ability and persistence of the strain in pine advances our understanding of the control and prediction of the colonization of exogenously delivered bacteria in pines. This study provides a promising approach for manipulating plant-associated bacteria and using Bt protein to control nematodes.

A case study on new high-strength temporary support technology of extremely soft coal seam roadway

One of the main challenges in excavating roadways is implementing temporary supports that are powered by hydraulics and have high strength. The current temporary support system lacks active support and often causes separation between the top plate and the layer below. It is crucial to control the initial separation of the roadway roof for the stability of the surrounding rock, especially on roadways with loose and soft rock. This research focuses on the A4027 return airway in Sail Six Mine. The issues with the temporary support system in this airway have been identified. The concept and principle of using hydraulically driven, high-strength temporary support technology are proposed. A mechanical analysis model is created to study the stacked roof in the temporary support region, and the critical conditions for delamination of the top plate are determined. The relationship between the delamination difficulty parameter Q, the distance between temporary supports L, and the strength of the temporary supports q is quantified. Numerical simulation using Flac3d is used to model the relationship between the strength of the temporary supports and the deformation and stress of the rock on the roof. The overall strength of the temporary supports for the A4027 return airway is determined to be 10 kN/m2, with a distance of 2 m between the temporary supports. Hydraulically driven, high-strength temporary support devices are developed and tested for their strength. Field trials are conducted as well. The results show that the initial separation of the top plate is improved and that the support effect in the temporary support region is significant. The maximum separation of the top plate during excavation is only 34 mm, and the sinking of the top plate does not exceed 68 mm. This effectively limits the deformation of the surrounding rocks in the very soft coal seam, providing valuable insights for other roadways with similar conditions.

Antenatal diagnosis of thoracopagus and thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins: case series

BackgroundConjoined twin pregnancy is a rare variety, which occurs due to incomplete separation of the embryonic plate after 13 days. Each type of this entity is linked to distinct levels of organ sharing, structural abnormalities, complications, and difficulties concerning the potential for separation. So a comprehensive multidisciplinary prenatal assessment of conjoined twins is crucial for providing accurate parental counseling, effectively managing the pregnancy, and formulating an appropriate delivery strategy. The purpose of our study was to early diagnosis of conjoined twins using ultrasound, describing the various types of conjoined twins and the role of recent advances like 3D ultrasound in aiding their management.Case presentationHere, we are describing the case series of four conjoined twins, which were diagnosed antenatally by using ultrasound between the period of January 2019 and December 2019. Four cases of conjoined twins (two thoracopagus and two thoraco-omphalopagus) were accurately diagnosed on antenatal ultrasound. After detailed counseling of the parents regarding the risks and benefits of this complicated pregnancy and obtaining written consent, all four cases were terminated. Ultrasound plays a vital role in the early diagnosis and management of conjoined twins. Also, 3D ultrasound and MRI help in better characterization of fused body parts and connection between vital organs, thus it aids in the management.ConclusionsIt is important to detect these cases early as termination of pregnancy is less risky in the early stages as compared to the late stages for proper management.

Changes in myelinated nerve fibers induced by pulsed electrical stimulation: A microstructural perspective on the causes of electrical stimulation side effects

Electrical brain stimulation technology is widely used in the clinic to treat brain neurological disorders. However, during treatment, patients may experience side effects such as pain, poor limb coordination, and skin rash. Previous reports have focused on the brilliant chapter on electrical brain stimulation technology and have not paid attention to patients' suffering caused by side effects during treatment. In this study, electrodes were arranged on the medulla oblongata. Pulsed electric fields of different frequencies were used to perform electrical stimulation to study the impact of electric fields on myelinated nerve fibers and reveal the possible microstructural origin of side effects. Transmission electron microscopy was used to analyze and quantify the changes in microstructure. The results illustrated that myelinated nerve fibers underwent atrophy under pulsed electric fields, with the mildest degree of atrophy under high-frequency (400 Hz) electric fields. Myelin sheaths experienced plate separation under pulsed electric fields, and a distinct laminar structure appeared. The microstructure changes may be related to the side effects of clinical electrical stimulation. This study can provide pathological possibilities for exploring the causes of the side effects of electrical stimulation and supply guidance for selecting electrical parameters for clinical electrical stimulation therapy from a distinctive perspective.

Surge of onychomadesis

We present a retrospective analysis of clinical and demographic data from a series of pediatric patients diagnosed with onychomadesis, outlining the clinical features, potential etiological factors, management strategies, and outcomes. Further research and collaboration are essential to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and optimize therapeutic approaches for onychomadesis in children.

Hydrodynamics-Induced Long-Range Attraction between Plates in Bacterial Suspensions.

We perform optical-tweezers experiments and mesoscale fluid simulations to study the effective interactions between two parallel plates immersed in bacterial suspensions. The plates are found to experience a long-range attraction, which increases linearly with bacterial density and decreases with plate separation. The higher bacterial density and orientation order between plates observed in the experiments imply that the long-range effective attraction mainly arises from the bacterial flow field, instead of the direct bacterium-plate collisions, which is confirmed by the simulations. Furthermore, the hydrodynamic contribution is inversely proportional to the squared interplate separation in the far field. Our findings highlight the importance of hydrodynamics on the effective forces between passive objects in active baths, providing new possibilities to control activity-directed assembly.

Performance of steel–concrete composite walls with recycled aggregate concrete under low-velocity lateral impact loading

This paper investigates the impact-resistant behaviours of steel–concrete (SC) composite walls experimentally and numerically, which consist of two outer steel plates and infilled recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Totally eight SC walls were designed and fabricated with different coarse recycled aggregate (CRA) content and steel plate thicknesses. Drop-hammer impact testing was first performed to obtain the failure mode, impact force and deformation. Test results indicated that the impact resistance behaviour of SC walls enhanced considerably with a decrease in CRA content. The tie bars combined with studs were effective to avoid the separation of steel plate from the concrete core. Afterwards, the finite element (FE) models were developed and calibrated, and then used to obtain more information on the full-range motion response, development of stress and strain, and energy absorption. In addition, the influences of different parameters, including the CRA content, material strength, steel plate ratio, tie-bar spacing, impact energy and axial load ratio on the impact resistance performance were assessed. Finally, the displacement response of SC composite walls with RAC was predicted using single-degree of freedom (SDOF) approach.

Evaluation of ion chamber response for applications in electron FLASH radiotherapy.

Ion chambers are required for calibration and reference dosimetry applications in radiation therapy (RT). However, exposure of ion chambers in ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) conditions pertinent to FLASH-RT leads to severe saturation and ion recombination, which limits their performance and usability. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate a set of commonly used commercially available ion chambers in RT, all with different design characteristics, and use this information to produce a prototype ion chamber with improved performance in UHDR conditions as a first step toward ion chambers specific for FLASH-RT. The Advanced Markus and Exradin A10, A26, and A20 ion chambers were evaluated. The chambers were placed in a water tank, at a depth of 2cm, and exposed to an UHDR electron beam at different pulse repetition frequency (PRF), pulse width (PW), and pulse amplitude settings on an IntraOp Mobetron. Ion chamber responses were investigated for the various beam parameter settings to isolate their dependence on integrated dose, mean dose rate and instantaneous dose rate, dose-per-pulse (DPP), and their design features such as chamber type, bias voltage, and collection volume. Furthermore, a thin parallel-plate (TPP) prototype ion chamber with reduced collector plate separation and volume was constructed and equally evaluated as the other chambers. The charge collection efficiency of the investigated ion chambers decreased with increasing DPP, whereas the mean dose rate did not affect the response of the chambers (±1%). The dependence of the chamber response on DPP was found to be solely related to the total dose within the pulse, and not on mean dose rate, PW, or instantaneous dose rate within the ranges investigated. The polarity correction factor (Ppol ) values of the TPP prototype, A10, and Advanced Markus chambers were found to be independent of DPP and dose rate (±2%), while the A20 and A26 chambers yielded significantly larger variations and dependencies under the same conditions. Ion chamber performance evaluated under different irradiation conditions of an UHDR electron beam revealed a strong dependence on DPP and a negligible dependence on the mean and instantaneous dose rates. These results suggest that modifications to ion chambers design to improve their usability in UHDR beamlines should focus on minimizing DPP effects, with emphasis on optimizing the electric field strength, through the construction of smaller electrode separation and larger bias voltages. This was confirmed through the production and evaluation of a prototype ion chamber specifically designed with these characteristics.

Assessment of Aerodynamic Plates Subjected to Von Kármán Vortex Street for Enhancing the Wind Energy Generation in Blade-Less Devices

This study explores the feasibility of using an oscillating plate downstream of a cylindrical body to produce mechanical energy from a Von Kármán vortex street under sub-critical flow conditions (Re = 72,500). The study aims to quantify the impact of the plate length, its separation from the cylinder, and a machine damping factor on the power coefficient and the blade’s displacement to identify the optimal configuration. This preliminary assessment assumes that the plate oscillation is small enough to avoid changes in the vortex dynamics. This assumption allows the construction of a surrogate model using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to evaluate the effect of plate length and separation from the cylinder on the fluctuating lift forces over the plate. Later, the surrogate model, combined with varying machine damping factors, facilitates the description of the device’s dynamics through the numerical integration of an angular momentum equation. The results showed that a plate with a length of 0.52D, a separation of 5.548D from the cylinder, and a damping factor of 0.013 achieved a power coefficient of 0.147 and a perpendicular displacement of 0.226D. These results demonstrate a substantial improvement in the performance of blade-less generators.

FEM Simulation of AlSi10Mg Artifact for Additive Manufacturing Process Calibration with Industrial-Computed Tomography Validation.

Dimensional accuracy of selective laser melting (SLM) parts is one of manufacturers' major concerns. The additive manufacturing (AM) process is characterized by high-temperature gradients, consolidation, and thermal expansion, which induce residual stress on the part. These stresses are released by separating the part from the baseplate, leading to plastic deformation. Thermo-mechanical finite elements (FE) simulation can be adopted to determine the effect of process parameters on final geometrical accuracy and minimize non-compliant parts. In this research, a geometry for process parameter calibration is presented. The part has been manufactured and then analyzed with industrial computed tomography (iCT). An FE process simulation has been performed considering material removal during base plate separation, and the computed distortions have been compared with the results of the iCT, revealing good accordance between the final product and its digital twin.
