Introduction/Aim
Ischemia Reperfusion injury is a poorly understood entity with wide-ranging clinical
implications touching on most fields of clinical medicine. Using skin flap and hind limb
models of injury in the mouse ...
Modelling the mechanical and fatigue behaviour of superelastic NiTi: analysing the role of microstructural phase and crystallographic texture
(2015-08-26)
Superelastic NiTi self-expanding stents push the boundaries of our current understanding of material behaviour which ultimately influences the design of biomedical devices. In particular, the influence of microstructure ...
