Direct calculation of the surface-to-volume ratio for human cancellous bone
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
There are many diseases which cause detrimental changes in the trabecular structure of cancellous bone, leading to mechanical failure of the tissue. One approach to understanding the mechanisms of these diseases is to ...
The elastic moduli of human subchondral, trabecular, and cortical bone tissue and the size-dependency of cortical bone modulus
(Elsevier, 1990)
The elastic moduli of human subchondral, trabecular, and cortical bone tissue from a proximal tibia were experimentally determined using three-point bending tests on a microstructural level. The mean modulus of subchondral ...
Lumbar muscle size and locations from CT scans of 96 women of age 40 to 63 years
(Elsevier, 1990-02)
Computed tomography scans of 96 women aged between 40 and 63 years were systematically measured to determine torso muscle moment arms and cross-sectional areas at L2/L3, L3/L4 and L4/L5 disc levels. The major findings were ...
A comparison of the fatigue behavior of human trabecular and cortical bone tissue
(Elsevier, 1992-12)
The fatigue properties of trabecular bone tissue (single trabeculae) and similarly sized cortical bone specimens from human tibia were experimentally determined on a microstructural level using four-point bending cyclic ...
Displacements of the menisci under joint load: An in vitro study in human knees
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
The purpose of this study was to test whether the menisci displace under joint compression combined with internal-external torques and anterior-posterior forces at fixed flexion angles. We further determined differences ...
Do bone ingrowth processes produce a globally optimized structure?
(Elsevier, 1993)
A topology optimization program was applied to test the hypothesis that bone adaptation to porous coated implants produces a structure which minimizes the global strain energy density. The program was used to predict the ...
The relationship between the structural and orthogonal compressive properties of trabecular bone
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
In this study, cubes of trabecular bone with a wide range of structural properties were scanned on a micro-computed tomography system to produce complete three-dimensional digitizations from which morphological and ...
Trabecular bone remodeling: An experimental model
(Elsevier, 1991)
An experimental model, capable of inducing controlled stress fields to the distal femoral metaphyses of large dogs, is presented. This model utilized an implantable hydraulic device incorporating five loading cylinders and ...
Application of homogenization theory to the study of trabecular bone mechanics
(Elsevier, 1991)
It is generally accepted that the strength and stiffness of trabecular bone is strongly affected by trabecular microstructure. It has also been hypothesized that stress induced adaptation of trabecular bone is affected by ...
