Packing Structure and Mechanical Properties of Granulates

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1990
The stiffness tensor relating the stress and strain in the generalized Hooke's law can take various forms depending upon the symmetry of the mechanical properties of the granular material. This material symmetry is expected to be closely related to the packing structure of the granular material.

Structure and mechanical properties of crab exoskeletons

Acta Biomaterialia, 2008
The structure and mechanical properties of the exoskeleton (cuticle) of the sheep crab (Loxorhynchus grandis) were investigated. The crab exoskeleton is a natural composite consisting of highly mineralized chitin-protein fibers arranged in a twisted plywood or Bouligand pattern.

The Structure and Anisotropic Mechanical Properties of Bone

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1984
Compact bone can be modeled as a complex hierarchical composite interrelating both structure and material properties on four levels of structural organization: molecular, ultrastructural, microscopic, and macroscopic.

Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone

Medical Engineering & Physics, 1998
Detailed descriptions of the structural features of bone abound in the literature; however, the mechanical properties of bone, in particular those at the micro- and nano-structural level, remain poorly understood. This paper surveys the mechanical data that are available, with an emphasis on the relationship between the complex hierarchical structure ...

Mechanical structure–property relationship of aerogels

Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 2000
The elastic moduli (E) of high-porosity materials (such as aerogels) exhibit power-law scaling with their relative densities (rho), E proportional to rho (m)(,) where 3 less than or equal to m less than or equal to 4, but the physics responsible for this behavior is not well-understood, Computer models of aerogels were generated by diffusion-limited ...

Structural and Mechanical Properties of Platinum Carbide

Inorganic Chemistry, 2014
Platinum carbide (PtC) was synthesized under extreme conditions and considered as a potential candidate for superhard materials. However, the unsettled issue concerning the structural identification has impeded the full understanding of its physical and chemical properties.

Mechanical properties of electrospun fibrinogen structures

Acta Biomaterialia, 2006
Fibrin and fibrinogen have a well-established track record in tissue engineering due to their innate ability to induce improved cellular interaction and subsequent scaffold remodeling compared to synthetic scaffolds. Use of fibrinogen as a primary scaffold component, however, has been limited by traditional processing techniques that render scaffolds ...

Mechanical Properties of the Posterolateral Structures of the Knee

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2005
Background The individual biomechanical strength properties of the fibular collateral ligament, popliteofibular ligament, and popliteus tendon have not been well elucidated by previous studies. To define the necessary strength requirements for a posterolateral knee reconstruction, these properties for the main ...

Structural, Mechanical, and Superconducting Properties of Clathrates

2010
Clathrates are superhard cagelike structures with sp3 bonding that have been up to now synthesized for silicon. There is however some evidence of a carbon based counterpart in meteorites. If realized, carbon clathrates could on the one hand provide a material harder than diamond and on the other hand offer the possibility for selective doping and ...
