The first edition of Skeletal Tissue Mechanics, published in 1998, grew out of Bruce Martin's
lecture notes for a course by the same name, which was part of the biomedical engineering …

This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current
understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology …

In this research a modeling technique for simulating the fatigue behaviour of laminated
composite materials, with or without stress concentrations, called progressive fatigue …

Current models used to predict the fatigue life of glass fibre-reinforced plastic composites do
not accurately consider the effects of load stress ratios and load frequencies. These models …

With growing interest in moving towards a slow-growth design or in-service sustainment
basis for aircraft composite and bonded structures, there is a need to establish whether the …

Measurement of the mechanical properties of bone is important for estimating the stresses
and strains exerted at the cellular level due to loading experienced on a macro-scale. Nano …

Elastic modulus degradation, strength reduction, and energy dissipation have traditionally
been the properties of choice to monitor the damage process in cortical bone. However …

This study reports experimental observation of structural degradation in a composite wind
turbine blade subject to fatigue loading. The fatigue test is carried out according to the test …

Despite advances in understanding the molecular basis of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, the
mechanisms by which type I collagen mutations compromise whole bone function are not …

The failure of machine components and assemblies due to the action of cyclic loads,
individually to a greater extent, lower than that of the static ultimate or yield strength, has …
