Povzetek: To achieve early mobilization of patients with unstable pelvic fractures, the osteosynthesis methods used must withstand the loads in the pelvis during everyday movements. There is currently no predictive tool to assess how suitable these methods are for this purpose. The development of such a tool requires an understanding of the effects of joint and muscle loads on the structural behavior of the pelvis during movement. To further this cause, the stress–strain state of the pelvis during a sit-to-stand transfer of a healthy adult male was analyzed. Muscle and joint reaction forces during the motion were predicted using a rigid-body musculoskeletal model. These loads were then utilized in the first-ever dynamic structural analysis of the pelvis during a sit-to-stand transfer using the finite element method. Several similarities in stress distributions during sit-to-stand transfer, gait, and standing were identified by comparing the finite element analysis results with literature. The common areas of increased stress between the three motions are the acetabular notch, the superior edge of the obturator foramen, the attachments of the gluteus maximus on the ilium, and the lesser sciatic notch. The results also provide important insights into global behavior of the pelvic ring and indicate the locations of concentrated stress during sit-to-stand transfer.

Povzetek: In this study, we investigate the load-bearing capacity of pre-stressed concrete girders under various damage levels. We employed Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology to monitor and quantify changes in the girder response as damage levels were incrementally introduced. This approach enabled the real-time measurement of dynamic behavior over the entire length of the girder, allowing for a detailed characterization of damage-induced structural changes. To complement the DASbased approach, we also applied classical acceleration-based damage detection techniques. By integrating these methods, we aimed to cross-validate the results and provide a more comprehensive understanding of damage progression and its impact on structural performance. The experimental campaign, conducted in Ljubljana, ZAG, involved full-scale testing of pre-stressed concrete girders subjected to controlled damage scenarios. This setup ensured a realistic assessment of the girders’ residual capacity and failure mechanisms. The paper presents preliminary results from this experimental study, emphasizing the capability of DAS measurements to detect and characterize damage, while also comparing its performance against traditional methods. By combining advanced sensing technologies with established techniques, this research highlights the potential of DAS as a transformative tool in structural health monitoring.
