... physiological loading condition. For the anterior quadrant, this corresponds to the periosteal side in tension while samples from the posterior quadrant would have the periosteal side in compression (Fig. 1( e ) ). The nonstrain mode specific condition is the reverse: the periosteal side would...

...Rad Zdero; Alison J. McConnell; Christopher Peskun; Khalid A. Syed; Emil H. Schemitsch The mechanical behavior of human femurs has been described in the literature with regard to torsion and tension but only as independent measurements. However, in this study, human femurs were subjected to torsion...

... injury criterion based on beam theory that uses a linear combination of the normalized upper cervical axial force and sagittal plane moment. This study examines this criterion by imposing combined axial tension and bending to postmortem human subject (PMHS) ligamentous cervical spines. Tests were...

... in tension, and optimization was used to determine the permeability coefficients, k 1 and k 2 , governing fluid flow parallel and perpendicular to the collagen fibers, respectively. The collagen fibrillar orientation was observed to have an effect on the Young’s moduli ( E 1 = 67.8 MPa , E 2 = 11.1 MPa...
