Design and development of a bioreactor for ligament tissue engineering
Mechanical signals applied in-vitro to cell-scaffold construct may induce the formation of ligament-like structure having in-vivo functional properties. To explore this hypothesis, a novel bioreactor was designed to study the in vitro effect of biaxial cyclic mechanical stimulation on the adhesion, …

Urban sunspaces : ecology of atria and arcades
… means of temperature control. With the rise of mechanical conditioning and excessive use of glass at facades by the beginning of this century, atria and arcades disappeared more or less from the architectural vocabulary. The late 1950s though experienced a revival of atria as a commercial …

The creep and creep rupture of SMC-R50 under different thermomechanical conditions
… repeatable results can be obtained by applying a mechanical conditioning prior to each creep and creep recovery test. Creep data were modelled using the Findley equation which contains three parameters, ε<sub>O</sub> (the instantaneous creep response), m (the amplitude of transient creep), and n …

A pulsatile bioreactor system for durability testing and compliance estimation of vascular grafts
… proteins. In the case of cardiovascular TE, conditioning under pulsatile pressure is common practice by many groups. In this study a bioreactor system is presented that can apply adjustable pressure pulse profiles to vascular grafts under a controlled environment. In addition, it can perform …
