Biomodels of bone: a review
Lohfeld, Stefan; Barron, Valerie; McHugh, Peter (Springer, 2005)In this paper, a definition of a biomodel is presented, based on which different specific types of biomodels are identified, viz., virtual biomodels, computational biomodels, and physical biomodels. The paper then focuses ... -
Computational modelling of ovine critical-sized tibial defects with implanted scaffolds and prediction of the safety of fixator removal
Doyle, Heather; Lohfeld, Stefan; Durselen, Lutz; McHugh, Peter (Elsevier, 2015-01-14)Computational model geometries of tibial defects with two types of implanted tissue engineering scaffolds, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL)/β-TCP, are constructed from µ-CT scan images of the ... -
Effects of material thickness and processing method on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) degradation and mechanical performance
Shirazi, Reyhaneh Neghabat; Aldabbagh, Fawaz; Ronan, William; Erxleben, Andrea; Rochev, Yury; McHugh, Peter (Springer Verlag, 2016-09-02)In this study, the effects of material thickness and processing method on the degradation rate and the changes in the mechanical properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) material during simulated physiological degradation ... -
Fabrication, mechanical and in vivo performance of polycaprolactone/tricalcium phosphate composite scaffolds
Lohfeld, Stefan; Cahill, Senan; Barron, Valerie; McHugh, Peter (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, ... -
A method to fabricate small features on scaffolds for tissue engineering via selective laser sintering
Lohfeld, Stefan; Tyndyk, M.A.; Cahill, S.; Flaherty, N.; Barron, Valerie; McHugh, Peter (2010)Purpose:Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a rapid prototyping technique applied to produce tissue-engineering scaffolds from powder materials. The standard scanning technique, however, often produces struts of extensive ... -
Modelling the degradation and elastic properties of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) films and regular open -cell tissue engineering scaffolds
Shirazi, Reyhaneh Neghabat; Ronan, William; Rochev, Yury; McHugh, Peter (Elsevier, 2015-09-02)Scaffolding plays a critical rule in tissue engineering and an appropriate degradation rate and sufficient mechanical integrity are required during degradation and healing of tissue. This paper presents a computational ...
