Abstract: An acoustic transducer design to measure the relative translations and rotations across the knee with no mechanical coupling between the tibia and femur is presented. Platforms attached to femoral ...

Abstract: Although the mechanical phenomena associated with preconditioning are well-established, the underlying mechanisms responsible for this behavior are still not fully understood. Using quantitative ...

Abstract: In the system considered here, corotating “turbine” disks are cooled by air supplied at the periphery of the system. The system comprises two corotating disks, connected by a rotating cylindrical ...

Abstract: Mechanical stimulation is essential for chondrocyte metabolism and cartilage matrix deposition. Traditional methods for evaluating developing tissue in vitro are destructive, time consuming, and ...
