Mechanical Characterization of Biomaterials^a

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997
Experimental testing and computational modeling are two useful tools for mechanical characterization of biomaterials, providing insight into material stresses and strains and the possibility of mechanical failure and fatigue. Another interesting issue to consider, however, is tissue response to mechanical stress and strain and incorporation of that ...

MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROCAPSULES

Annual Review of Materials Research, 2006
▪ Abstract  In recent years microcapsule systems have found applications in many areas of science and technology. Their use to a large extent depends on how mechanical properties are understood and controlled. Here we review different experimental techniques recently developed to probe microcapsule mechanics and to characterize other physical ...

Mechanical Characterization of Porcine Corneas

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2012
An experimental program has been carried out in order to investigate the mechanical behavior of porcine corneas. We report the results of inflation tests on the whole cornea and uniaxial tests on excised corneal strips, performed on 51 fresh porcine eyes. Uniaxial tests have been performed on specimens cut from previously inflated corneas.

An Axiomatic Characterization of the Price Mechanism

Econometrica, 1974
The standard model of the price mechanism occupies a very special place in the body of economic knowledge, and the precise description of that mechanism during the past thirty years by Lange, Arrow, Debreu, Koopmans, and Aumann represents one of the most important achievements of modern economic analysis.

Mechanical characterization of the bovine iris

Journal of Biomechanics, 1999
Quantification of the mechanical properties of the iris is necessary to assess the clinical significance of passive iris deformation, which has been suggested as a mechanism for certain forms of glaucoma. Extension tests were performed on isolated bovine irises to determine the passive mechanical behavior of the iris and the contribution of each of its

Characterization of Psz by Fracture Mechanics

2008
Both deterministic and probabilistic fracture mechanics are applied for PSZ ceramics in bending. Comparison is given between realibility levels achieved with different sensitivities in NDE and fracture mechanics estimates of the critical flaw size. Implications for practical quality assessment are discussed.

Mechanical characterization of biodegradable implants

Clinical Materials, 1992
The mechanical properties of degradable implant materials are low in comparison to metals used in orthopaedic surgery. There are possibilities to improve the strength of degradable implants by self-fibre-reinforcement, high molecular weight or special manufacturing processes.

Structural and Mechanical Characterization of Composites

Polimeri : časopis za plastiku i gumu, 1998
The characterization of composites such as carbon/epoxy laminates is significant in estimating the reliability and life-time assessment of the components of mechanical structures. The examination of composite microstructure is performed by the image automatic processing method, using the image analyzer to determine the influence of the results on the ...

Mechanical Characterization of Aerogels

2011
Aerogels are multifunctional porous nanostructured materials (e.g., thermally/acoustically insulating) derived from their vast internal empty space and their high specific surface area. Under certain conditions, aerogels may also have exceptional specific mechanical properties as well.

Characterizations of the pivotal mechanism

Journal of Public Economics, 1986
The pivotal mechanism is strategyproof (demand revealing) in public decision problems where preferences are quasi-linear. Moreover, no agent has an incentive to “free ride” by withdrawing from the committee and consuming whatever decision is taken by the remaining agents. Strategyproofness plus No Free Ride characterize the pivotal mechanism.
