Biomechanical phenomena involved in facial trauma: an integrative review [PDF]
Introduction: Trauma is defined as an injury that leads to changes in an individual's structure due to the energy exchange between tissues and the environment. Because of its location, the maxillofacial skeleton is commonly affected by trauma.

Multi-scale biomechanical study of transport phenomena in the intervertebral disc [PDF]
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is primarily involved in back pain, a morbidity that strongly affects the quality of life of individuals nowadays. Lumbar IVDs undergo stressful mechanical loads while being the largest avascular tissues in our body: Mechanical principles alone cannot unravel the intricate phenomena that occur at the cellular ...

An MRI-based leg model used to simulate biomechanical phenomena during cuff algometry: a finite element study [PDF]
Cuff pressure stimulation is applicable for assessing deep-tissue pain sensitivity by exciting a variety of deep-tissue nociceptors. In this study, the relative transfer of biomechanical stresses and strains from the cuff via the skin to the muscle and the somatic tissue layers around bones were investigated.

Runners on average do not have a high risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, even though running places very high loads on the knee joint. Here we used gait analysis, musculoskeletal modeling, and a discrete-element model of knee contact mechanics to estimate strains of the medial knee cartilage in walking and running in 22 young adults (age 23 ± 3 ...

Micromotion Phenomena at the Implant Bone Interface: A Biomechanical and Histomorphometric Study
Purpose: Excessive micromotion at the implant-bone interface may result in fibrous encapsulation instead of osseointegration of dental implants. This study quantified micromotion of implants placed in polyurethane foam and sheep tibia and tried to establish correlations with histologic parameters. Method: Dental implants (n=5) were placed in the tibiae

Interfacial phenomena of water striders on water surfaces: a review from biology to biomechanics
Water striders have intrigued researchers for centuries from the viewpoints of biology to biomechanics. In this review, we introduce the basic theories and techniques of physics and force measurement for biomechanical research into water striders. Morphological and behavioral traits of water striders are summarized and discussed from biomechanical ...

Computational Modeling of Biomechanical Phenomena - Remodeling, Growth and Reorientation [PDF]
The main concern of this contribution is the computational modeling of biomechanically relevant phenomena. To minimize resource requirements, living biomaterials commonly adapt to changing demands. One way to do so is the optimization of mass. For the modeling of biomaterials with changing mass, we distinguish between two different approaches: the ...
