Evaluating the Role of Canalicular Morphology and Perilacunar Region Properties on Local Mechanical Environment of Lacunar–Canalicular Network Using Finite Element Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Physiological and pathological processes such as aging, diseases, treatments, and lactation can alter lacunar–canalicular network (LCN) morphology and perilacunar region properties. These modifications can impact the ...
Mechanical Evaluation of Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposites Using Finite Element Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been proposed as a candidate material for bone implants because of its similarity to the inorganic phase in bone. However, due to its lower mechanical properties compared to bone, it has not been ...
Interaction of Microcracks and Tissue Compositional Heterogeneity in Determining Fracture Resistance of Human Cortical Bone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent studies demonstrated an association between atypical femoral fracture (AFF) and long-term bisphosphonate (BP) use for osteoporosis treatment. Due to BP treatment, bone undergoes alterations including increased ...
