Abstract: The vibrations of a cable‐stayed pedestrian bridge are measured and compared with a numerical model, and used to produce improved estimates of the structural properties. Fourteen deck modes with frequencies under 16 Hz ...

Abstract: This technical note demonstrates two methods of incorporating the experimental stiffness of spinal motion segments into a finite element analysis of the spine. The first method is to incorporate ...

Abstract: Alterations to joint tissues, including subchondral bone, occur with osteoarthritis. A microindentation technique was developed to determine the local compressive modulus of subchondral bone. This ...

Abstract: Intervertebral disk degeneration results in alterations in the mechanical, chemical, and electrical properties of the disk tissue. The purpose of this study is to record spatially resolved streaming ...
