Abstract: Fatigue loading of bone, from the activities of daily living in the elderly, or from prolonged exercise in the young, can lead to increased risk of fracture. Elderly patients with osteoporosis ...

Abstract: Microdamage, in the form of small cracks, may accumulate in trabecular bone loaded in fatigue. Specimens of bovine trabecular bone were loaded in compressive fatigue at one of four normalized ...

Abstract: Within the general framework of developing a cement‐based sandwich panel for housing construction, wood‐cement composites were identified as a promising facing material. Five commercially available wood‐cement and ...

Abstract: Elastic-plastic foams are commonly used in engineering practice in the core of structural sandwich members and in energy absorption devices dissipating the kinetic energy of an impact without generating high stresses. Due ...
