    Notes: Summary Because laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduces hospitalization time and postoperative disability, it is being offered to an increasing number of patients with symptomatic gallstones. Nevertheless, acute cholecystitis is still considered by many surgeons to be a relative contraindication. Our standard approach has been to perform laparoscopy on all patients considered candidates for cholecystectomy. From June 1990 to October 1991, the authors personally performed laparoscopic cholecystectomy on 110 patients, 29 (26%) of whom had pathologically confirmed acute cholecystitis. Of these, nine had evidence of gangrene, perforation, or abscess formation. It was necessary to convert to open cholecystectomy in four (14%) patients. In each, inflammation or dense adhesions precluded the performance of a safe operation. The hepatorenal space was drained in 12 (41%) and cystic dust cholangiograms were performed selectively. The mean operating time was 108 min. There were no intraoperative complications. One patient developed a prolonged postoperative paralytic ileus and two patients were noted to have postoperative common duct stones. There were no deaths. The average postoperative stay for laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 2.6 days. We conclude that the advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be safely and effectively extended to the majority of patients with acute cholecystitis.

    Reduction of the error in eccentric beam modelling (1980)

    Notes: The usual linear shape function for approximating axial displacement in beam finite elements used as eccentric stiffeners leads to an inconsistency which can result in large errors in the deflection of plates or composite beams. The introduction of an additional degree-of-freedom for these elements circumvents this problem.

    Dynamic aspects of the error in eccentric beam modelling (1980)

    Notes: The usual linear shape function for approximating axial displacements in beam finite elements used as eccentric stiffeners or as portions of composite cross-sections, leads to an error in the static deflection. A modified element reduces this error. The behaviour of these two elements under free vibration is examined. The linear element is shown to be in considerable error in the dynamic case also.

    Vibration and buckling of beam-columns subjected to non-uniform axial loads (1986)

    Notes: The small-displacement free vibration of elastic Euler-Bernoulli beams subjected to non-uniform axial forces and the buckling of elastic columns are both analysed by means of various types of beam finite elements. The procedure incorporates beams and columns of varying cross-sections, such as linear tapers, inhomogeneous beams and columns, distributed axial forces, elastic end and interior restraints and point masses with linear and rotary inertias. All of these topics individually or in some combinations have been analysed by others. The purpose of this paper is to bring together under a single umbrella the various problems studied by others, and to provide the solution to one problem apparently not yet solved - the buckling and vibration of tapered columns under non-uniform axial thrust. The mass, stiffness and geometric stiffness matrices for the standard beam element are fully written out for direct incorporation into existing finite element programs. A FORTRAN subroutine for generating these matrices, and those for various higher-order beam elements, is also provided.

    Numerical analysis of a generalized plane ‘elastica’ with non-linear material behaviour (1988)

    Notes: This article presents a numerical procedure for the analysis of a planar, continuous, flexible member. Large displacements and rotations, non-linear material behaviour and general cross sections are admitted. A shooting method is utilized along with Newton-type iteration for improved estimates. The resulting computer program is used to compare with numerical and analytical solutions of problems solved by others, and to present the solution to a problem which brings out very clearly the effects of both geometric and material non-linearities.

    A new paradigm for hypothesis testing in medicine, with examination of the Neyman Pearson condition (1986)

    Notes: Abstract In the past, hypothesis testing in medicine has employed the paradigm of the repeatable experiment. In statistical hypothesis testing, an unbiased sample is drawn from a larger source population, and a calculated statistic is compared to a preassigned critical region, on the assumption that the comparison could be repeated an indefinite number of times. However, repeated experiments often cannot be performed on human beings, due to ethical or economic constraints. We describe a new paradigm for hypothesis testing which uses only rearrangements of data present within the observed data set. The token swap test, based on this new paradigm, is applied to three data sets from cardiovascular pathology, and computational experiments suggest that the token swap test satisfies the Neyman Pearson condition.

    Loading, unloading and reloading of a generalized plane plastica (1989)
    Chichester [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: This article presents a shooting-type numerical procedure for the analysis of a planar, continuous and flexible member where the material is permitted to unload and reload plastically. A kinematic type of strainhardening rule is employed, and large displacements, large rotations and general cross section shapes are admitted. Though numerical and semi-analytical solutions exist in the literature for specific problems where the internal and external loads increase monotonically (see, for example, References 1-4), little attention has been paid to problems where these loads (specifically internal loads) are permitted to decrease or reverse direction. In the present work a comparison is made with the solution to one such problem found in the literature, and the solution to four additional problems is given to show the versatility and usefulness of the method.

    A cubic triangular finite element for flat plates with shear (1989)
    Chichester [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: This paper presents the development of a straightforward displacement type triangular finite element for bending of a flat plate with the inclusion of transverse (or lateral) shear effects. The element has twenty two degrees of freedom consisting of ten for the lateral displacement of the midplane and six for rotations of the normal to the undeformed midplane of the plate. The latter are taken as independent of the slopes of the deformed midplane in order to include deformation due to transverse shear. The element is fully conforming and may be orthotropic. At interelement boundaries, the element matches adjacent elements both with respect to lateral displacement of the midplane and the rotations of the normal. The result is an efficient ‘linear moment’ triangular element but with transverse shear deformation included. Numerical computations for a number of examples are presented. The results show the element to be more flexible than most other finite element models and agree closely with those from a numerical solution of the three dimensional elasticity equations. The results also converge to those from thin plate theory when the thickness to length ratio becomes small or when the transverse shear moduli are artificially increased.
