This review summarises current understanding of how bone is sculpted through adaptive
processes, designed to meet the mechanical challenges it faces in everyday life and athletic …

The tissue-level Young's modulus of trabecular bone is important for detailed mechanical
analysis of bone and bone-implant mechanical interactions. However, the heterogeneity and …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has become a signature injury of current military conflicts, with
debili<? format?> tating, costly, and long-lasting effects. Although mechanisms by which …

Bone fragility can be defined as an increased risk of fractures. Advanced age and bone
diseases such as osteoporosis increase the fracture risk. Understanding the effects of …

The aims of this study were to analyse the stress distribution developing around an
orthodontic miniscrew (OM) inserted into the maxilla and to determine the stress field …

Though remarkably robust, articular cartilage becomes susceptible to damage at high
loading rates, particularly under shear. While several studies have measured the local static …

Although stiffness and strength of lower limb bones have been investigated in the past,
information is not complete. While the femur has been extensively investigated, little …

According to the standard surgical protocols, the press fit is obtained inserting an implant in
a drilled hole that is provided with a lower diameter. In this way, it is induced a relevant strain …

Bone is a complex hierarchal structured material with varying porosity and mechanical
properties. In particular, human cranial bone is essentially a natural composite consisting of …

Intense investigation has been performed to characterize static and dynamic mechanical
properties of trabecular and cortical bone. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) …
