From Biomechanics to Bioinnovation: Emerging Applications of Piezoelectric Materials and Phenomena in Dentistry

Biomedicines
Teeth are the hardest organs in the human body. As mineralized structures, they possess a unique microstructure composed of orderly arranged piezoelectric materials such as hydroxyapatite crystals and collagen fibers. Teeth exhibit effective piezoelectric coefficients of approximately 1.2–1.6 pC/N.

Biomechanics of stabbing knife attack for trauma surgeons in Korea: a narrative review [PDF]

Journal of Trauma and Injury
The aim of this paper was to review the biomechanics of knife injuries, including those that occur during stabbing rampages. In knife stab attacks, axial force and energy were found to be 1,885 N and 69 J, respectively.

An individual based computational model of intestinal crypt fission and its application to predicting unrestrictive growth of the intestinal epithelium. [PDF]

, 2014
Intestinal crypt fission is a homeostatic phenomenon, observable in healthy adult mucosa, but which also plays a pathological role as the main mode of growth of some intestinal polyps.

On the Analysis of the Contact Conditions in Temporomandibular Joint Prostheses [PDF]

, 2018
Temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) is a complex surgical procedure in which the artificial joints available must assure the anatomical reconstruction and guarantee a good range of the natural temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements. With this aim,

Effect of Forward Head Posture on Erector Spinae Muscle Activity

Physical Therapy Korea
Background: For instance, forward head posture (FHP), characterized by the forward move-ment of the head relative to the spine, places significant stress on the neck and upper back muscles, disrupting the biomechanical balance of the body.

Ökomorphologie : Integration von Form, Funktion und Ökologie bei der Analyse morphologischer Strukturen [PDF]

, 2008
Organisms are complex entities whose study has necessitated an increasingly reductionistic stance in modern biology (CAPLAN 1987). As a consequence, biology as a science has been split up into numerous sub-disciplines.

Computational Modeling of Biomechanical Phenomena - Remodeling, Growth and Reorientation [PDF]

, 2007
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 ...

An Optimization Method for an Active Multi-Unit Prosthetic Socket with Dynamic Adaptability in Multi-Task Scenarios

Biomimetics
As a core functional component of the prosthetic system, the prosthetic socket’s adaptability to the residual limb is directly correlated with the prosthetic’s performance, comfort level, and safety profile. Although traditional sockets can satisfy basic
