Abstract: The elastic response of a complete spherical shell under the influence of concentrated loads (normal point loads, concentrated tangential loads, and concentrated surface moments) which apply in ...

Abstract: Spine discectomy and fusion is a widely used surgical procedure to correct irreversible degenerative diseases and injuries to the intervertebral disk. The surgical procedure involves the removal ...

Abstract: The fundamental singular solutions of a complete elastic spherical shell are utilized and, via the superposition principle, an indirect boundary integral equation is formulated. The singular ...

Abstract: Strain rate is implemented as a stimulus for surface bone remodeling. Using idealized models of trabecular bone structures, the surface remodeling predictions using the strain rate as the stimulus ...
