Blunt Force Trauma to the Ribs: Creating Predictive Models
… material properties and structural geometry of bone, which is how bone biomechanics are recommended to be incorporated into trauma analysis. Furthermore, the results from this research can be applied to motor vehicle safety research, experimental research avenues, and bioarcheological trauma …

Tibial bone properties and mechanics under atypical loading conditions
… to a stress fracture. The response of bone to atypical loading conditions has been less studied and can help identify conditions that may place bone at increased risk of stress fractures. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to (1) evaluate impact strength following fatigue loading of …

Material Properties of Human Rib Cortical Bone from Dynamic Tension Coupon Testing
… material properties of human rib cortical bone using dynamic tension coupon testing. This study presents 117 human rib cortical bone coupon tests from six cadavers, three male and three female, ranging in age from 18 to 67 years old. The rib sections were taken from the anterior, lateral, …

Osteocyte Activity and Skeletal Muscle Relative Gene Expression Profiling After Short-term Muscle Paralysis
… loading is essential for maintaining bone tissue. Reduced mechanical loading has been shown to have a negative effect on bone, and can result in the development of disuse osteoporosis. Disuse models of muscle inactivity and immobilization, like the Botox model used in this study, …

Error estimation in whole bone microstrain measurement when using digital volume correlation
… images detailing changes within the bone micro-architecture. Digital volume correlation (DVC) is a mathematical technique used to determine strain within the bone volume, by tracing the dislocation of a pattern between the 3-dimensional images. Uncertainty in the microstrain …

Effects of Sex, Strain Rate, and Age on the Tensile and Compressive Material Properties of Human Rib Cortical Bone
… material properties of human rib cortical bone over a wide range of subject demographics. Tension coupons were tested from sixty-one (n = 61) subjects (M = 32, F = 29) ranging in age from 17 to 99 years of age (Avg. = 56.4 +/- 26.2 yrs.). Compression samples were tested from thirty (n = 30) …
