Multiscale modelling of materials chemomechanics : brittle fracture of oxides and semiconductors [PDF]
, 2014 Fracture is one of the most challenging ‘multi-scale’ problems to model: since crack propagation is driven by the concentration of a long-range stress field at an atomically sharp crack tip, an accurate description of the chemical processes occurring in ...

Effectiveness of Teriparatide on Fracture Healing: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
PLoS ONE, 2016 PurposeNowadays, the efficacy of teriparatide in treating osteoporosis was widely accepted, but the discussion about using teriparatide to enhance fracture healing hasn't come to an agreement.

The effects of smoking on fracture healing
The Surgeon, 2010 Tobacco smoking is the single most avoidable cause of premature death worldwide. In fracture healing, it has been found to be a contributory factor to delayed union, and smokers are significantly disadvantaged, as healing times are often prolonged. The orthopaedic surgeon is likely to be knowledgeable about the detrimental effects of smoking on healing

Existence of solutions to a regularized model of dynamic fracture [PDF]
, 2010 Existence and convergence results are proved for a regularized model of dynamic brittle fracture based on the Ambrosio–Tortorelli approximation. We show that the sequence of solutions to the time-discrete elastodynamics, proposed by Bourdin, Larsen ...

Health Services and Delivery Research, 2016 Background: Professional bodies have produced comprehensive guidance about the management of hip fracture. They recommend orthogeriatric services focusing on achieving optimal recovery, and fracture liaison services (FLSs) focusing on secondary fracture ...

Modeling the volume-effectiveness relationship in the case of hip fracture treatment in Finland
BMC Health Services Research, 2010 Background A common argument in the recent health policy debate is that treatment is more effective among care providers with large volumes. It is challenging, however, to examine the volume-effectiveness relationship empirically.

Effects of plasticity on the anisotropy of the effective fracture toughness [PDF]
International Journal of Fracture, 2020 This paper investigates the effects of plasticity on the effective fracture toughness. A layered material is considered as a modelling system. An elastic-plastic phase-field model and a surfing boundary condition are used to study how the crack propagates throughout the material and the evolution of the effective toughness as a function of the layer ...
