Predicting off-axis bone strength of the distal radius using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography based finite element modeling
… determine failure load under pure compressive loading conditions and neglect off-axis loads that occur during a fall on an outstretched hand. The objective of this research was to identify moment arms in a HR-pQCT distal radius FE model that best predicted off-axis experimental failure load …

Modeling the Stimulation of Vestibular Hair Cell Bundles Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis
… for free-standing bundles), and combined loading (physiologic for bundles with tip attachments) conditions to determine how the bundles behaved in each case. The bundles differed in the heights of their components, their length and width, and their number of steriocilia. Tip links were …

Finite element based micromechanical modeling of periodic composite microstructures
… many imperfections along the polymer coating. Off-axis loading of the samples was also determined as a cause. Future work depends on advances in the resolution and repeatability of 3D printing technology.

A Passive Pure Moment Protocol for Testing Spine Segments: Development and Application
… enough to accurately calculate the instantaneous axis of rotation (IAR) for a segment throughout a bending motion. The purpose of this study was to simulate a pure moment protocol using a programmable spine robot, and use the data gathered to calculate the IAR for harvested specimen and those …

Defining the Role of Elastic Fibers in Tendon Mechanics
… and the lungs that experience constant cyclic loading. In tendon, elastin only makes up 1-2% of the tissue by dry weight, yet prior work has demonstrated a significant impact of elastin on tendon mechanics despite its low content. Moreover, this work is motivated clinically by elastinopathic …

Characterisation of environmentally friendly fibres for composites
… fibre-polyester composites over a range of off-axis loading angles. The results were input into a number of micromechanical and semi-empirical models. It was found that the investigated fibres were highly anisotropic with the fibres longitudinal modulus being greater than the fibres …
