Tremendous challenges still remain in clinical bone tissue defect repair associated with
higher morbidity, recurrence, and longer hospital stays. To combat these problems, bone …

Abstract Scaffold-based Tissue Engineering represents the most promising approach for the
regeneration of load bearing skeletal tissues, in particular bone and cartilage. Scaffolds play …

We visualized, in real time, the dynamic fracture behaviors in porcine cortical bone from
humerus and porcine trabecular bone from nasal bone at a high loading rate using high …

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 …

Sideways falls onto the hip are responsible for a great number of fractures in older adults.
One of the possible ways to prevent these fractures is through early identification of people …

Dynamic bone-crushing, exemplified by the pig bone rib, is characterized thermo-
mechanically in relation to the bone's microstructural characteristics. The cortical bone's …

A shear-punch test (SPT) experimental method was developed to address the lack of shear
deformation and failure response data for the human skull as a function of local bone …

The initiation and propagation of physiological cracks in porcine cortical and cancellous
bone under high rate loading were visualized using high-speed synchrotron X-ray phase …

The advent of new manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing deeply
impacts the approach for the design of medical devices. It is now possible to design custom …

There is currently a knowledge gap in scientific literature concerning the strain rate
dependent properties of trabecular bone at intermediate strain rates. Meanwhile, strain rates …
