Mechanism of Injury
ACL tears' (ruptures) are most frequently non-contact injuries, occurring during sudden deceleration, cutting maneuvers, or awkward landings. The mechanism often involves simultaneous knee valgus, external rotation of the tibia, and hyperextension, placing the ligament under extreme tensile load and [torsional loads](/entries/tors… -
Mechanical Stability
Linked via "torsional loads"
Flutter and Divergence
In aerodynamic structures, instability manifests through phenomena like flutter, which is a self-exciting oscillation involving coupling between aerodynamic forces and structural modes, often leading to rapid mechanical disintegration. A related, but purely static, instability is divergence, where an increase in load factor causes a non-oscillatory divergence …
