Analysis of cumulative strain in tendons and tendon sheaths
(Elsevier, 1987)
Twenty-five fresh frozen flexor digitorum profundus tendons stratified by sex were subjected to uniaxial step stress and cyclic loads in twelve intact human cadaver hands. By attaching specially designed clip strain gage ...
Biomechanical model calculation of muscle contraction forces: A double linear programming method
(Elsevier, 1988)
This paper presents a novel scheme for the use of linear programming to calculate muscle contraction forces in models describing musculoskeletal system biomechanics. Models of this kind are frequently found in the biomechanics ...
Dynamics of dissolution of gas bubbles or pockets in tissues
(Elsevier, 1972-07)
A mathematical model is developed which describes the dynamic characteristics of gas bubbles in subcutaneous tissues. Consideration is given to both inert and reacting gases. The effects of blood perfusion (or oxygen ...
Relaxation phenomenon in lumbar trunk muscles during lateral bending
(Elsevier, 1988-08)
This paper reports myoelectric activity measurements in the lumbar trunk muscles when subjects performed tasks involving various degrees of lateral bending. Biomechanical model analyses were made to estimate the tensions ...
Experimental studies of the dissolution of gas bubbles in whole blood and plasma--I. Stationary bubbles
(Elsevier, 1971-07)
Gas bubbles of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen are injected into the degassed plasma and whole blood. The bubble size is measured at time intervals until the bubble is completely dissolved in the liquid. Physical ...
A model for studies of the deformable rib cage
(Elsevier, 1992-05)
An earlier model for the study of rib cage mechanics was modified so that rib deformity in scoliosis could be better represented. The rigid ribs of that model were replaced by five-segment deformable rits. Literature data ...
A mathematical model for the determination of viscoelastic behavior of brain in vivo--II relaxation response
(Elsevier, 1972-11)
In a recent experiment for determining the mechanical response of brain in vivo. a probe, inserted through scalp, skull and dura, is placed in contact with and normal to the brain, given a prescribed motion, and the time ...
Experimental studies of the dissolution of gas bubbles in whole blood and plasma--II. Moving bubbles or liquids
(Elsevier, 1971-07)
Part I of the study is concerned with the dissolution of a gas bubble in quiescent, degassed blood and plasma. This paper is an extension of the experimental study to include the case in which the gas bubble dissolves in ...
The mechanical properties of human tibial trabecular bone as a function of metaphyseal location
(Elsevier, 1983)
Experimental determination of the elastic modulus and ultimate strength of human tibial trabecular bone as a function of metaphyseal location is presented.A 1 cm cubic matrix with planes parallel to the subchondral plate ...
Material identification of soft tissue using membrane inflation
(Elsevier, 1979)
The constitutive equation for large elastic deformations is often used to model the mechanical response of soft tissue. This paper is concerned with the applications of the method of material identification to the determination ...
