This paper offers an overview of the potentialities and limitations of digital image correlation
(DIC) as a technique for measuring displacements and strain in biomechanical applications …

Abstract Laser Speckle Correlation, Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry and Digital
Holographic interferometry have evolved for decades to become relevant techniques in …

Previous models of cortical bone adaptation, in which loading is imposed on the bone, have
estimated the strains in the tissue using strain gauges, analytical beam theory, or finite …

Background Determining the mechanical behaviour of tendon and ligamentous tissue
remains challenging, as it is anisotropic, non-linear and inhomogeneous in nature. Methods …

Conventional clinical therapies are unable to resolve osteochondral defects adequately;
hence, tissue engineering solutions are sought to address the challenge. A biphasic implant …

An understanding of the fatigue and fracture behavior of hard tissues (eg, bone and tissues
of the human tooth) is critical to the maintenance of physical and oral health. Recent studies …

This paper presents an experimental methodology to determine plated and intact femur
strains using fiber Bragg gratings and strain gauges. A plated and an intact synthetic femur …

Background Surgical treatment of adult acquired flatfoot deformity can involve arthrodesis of
the midfoot to stabilize the medial column. Few experimental studies have assessed the …

This study describes a novel system for acquiring the 3D strain field in soft tissue at sub-
millimeter spatial resolution during negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Recent …

Tissue engineering techniques have been effective in developing cartilage-like tissues in
vitro. However, many scaffold-based approaches to cultivating engineered cartilage have …
