Intermittent cyclic loading of cartilage explants modulates fibronectin metabolism
The aim of this study was to evaluate systematically the effect of tissue load, its amplitude, time of intermittence and duration of loading on the biosynthesis and release of fibronectin by intermittently loaded mature bovine articular cartilage explants.Cyclic compressive pressure was introduced using a sinusoidal waveform of 0.5 Hz-frequency with a ...

Intermittent Dynamic Compression Confers Anabolic Effects in Articular Cartilage
(1) Background: Mechanical loading is an essential part of the function and maintenance of the joint. Despite the importance of intermittent mechanical loading, this factor is rarely considered in preclinical models of cartilage, limiting their ...

Plastic intermittency during cyclic loading: From dislocation patterning to microcrack initiation [PDF]
In metallic materials subjected to cyclic loading, strain hardening as well as fatigue crack initiation have been linked for a long time with the evolution of dislocation patterns and structures. In particular, the development of low-energy dislocation configurations such as persistent slip bands (PSBs) is considered as a precursor to crack initiation.

Effect of post-peak cyclic load on mechanics and seepage characteristics of sandstone under different confining pressures [PDF]
The mining disturbance causes the rock mass in a certain range of the coal seam floor to be in a post-peak state. Due to the excavation of adjacent roadways and the mining of coal seams, the post-peak rock mass undergoes a cyclic loading-unloading ...
