Biomedical engineers and physicists frequently use human or animal bone for orthopaedic
biomechanics research because they are excellent approximations of living bone. But, there …

Objective Digital image correlation (DIC) is a non-contact image processing technique for
full-field strain measurement. Although DIC has been widely used in engineering and …

This study aims to characterize the axial monotonic and cyclic tensile behavior of bolted
steel connections to laminated timber and bamboo, using slotted-in steel plates, and to …

An appropriate method of application of the hip-joint force and stress analysis of the pelvic
bone, in particular the acetabulum, is necessary to investigate the changes in load transfer …

Pathologies such as cancer metastasis and osteoporosis strongly affect the mechanical
properties of the vertebral bone and increase the risk of fragility fractures. The prediction of …

Finite element (FE) models built from quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans can
provide patient-specific estimates of bone strength and fracture risk in the spine. While prior …

Fixation of uncemented implant is influenced by peri-prosthetic bone ingrowth, which is
dependent on the mechanical environment of the implant–bone structure. The objective of …

Finite element analyses (FEAs) of human femurs are mostly validated by ex-vivo
experimental observations. Such validations were largely performed by comparing local …

Recent developments in acetabular implants suggest flexible, alternative bearing material
that may reduce wear and peri-prosthetic bone resorption. The goal of this study was to …

Background Current clinical methods for fracture prediction rely on two-dimensional imaging
methods such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and have limited predictive value …
