Evaluation of a multiscale modelling methodology to predict the mechanical properties of PCL/β-TCP sintered scaffold materials
(Springer Verlag, 2014-12-02)
A multiscale modelling methodology to predict the macroscale stiffness of selective laser sintered polycaprolactone (PCL)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) materials is evaluated. The relationship between a micromechanics-evaluated ...
Experimental and computational investigation of the role of stress fiber contractility in the resistance of osteoblasts to compression
(2013)
The mechanical behavior of the actin cytoskeleton has previously been investigated using both experimental and computational techniques. However, these investigations have not elucidated the role the cytoskeleton plays in ...
An experimental and computational investigation of the post-yield behaviour of trabecular bone during vertebral device subsidence
(Springer-Verlag, 2013)
Interbody fusion device subsidence has been reported clinically. An enhanced understanding of the mechanical behaviour of the surrounding bone would allow for accurate predictions of vertebral subsidence. The multiaxial ...
Fabrication, mechanical and in vivo performance of polycaprolactone/tricalcium phosphate composite scaffolds
(2012)
This paper explores the use of selective laser sintering (SLS) for the generation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds from polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL/tricalcium phosphate (TCP). Different scaffold designs are generated, ...
Indentation characterization of glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy composite samples aged in artificial salt water at elevated temperature
(Elsevier, 2022-04-21)
Micro-level composite properties are a key determinant of the long-term performance and life span of marine-based composite structures. In this paper, the effect of the aging process in salt water at room temperature and ...
