This review deals with biomechanical aspects of growth (mass change), remodeling
(property change), and morphogenesis (shape change) in living systems. The emphasis is …

Growth and remodeling in tissues may be modulated by mechanical factors such as stress.
For example, in cardiac hypertrophy, alterations in wall stress arising from changes in …

It is well established that tissue growth, maintenance, and degeneration are biochemically
regulated processes influenced by mechanical function. Biomechanical models have been …

Inserting a titanium implant in the bone tissue may modify its physiological loading and
therefore cause bone resorption, via a phenomenon called stress-shielding. The local stress …

A review of the state of the art in computational modeling and analysis of the mechanical
behavior of living bone is given. Particular attention is placed on algorithms for the …

The solution for a circular inhomogeneity embedded in an infinite elastic matrix with a
multilayered interphase plays a fundamental role in many practical and theoretical …

The periodontal biomechanical environment is very difficult to investigate. By the complex
geometry and composition of the periodontal ligament (PDL), its mechanical behavior is very …

In this paper we propose a new set of constitutive equations for bone remodeling that uses
the specific surface instead of volume fraction. The theory of small-strain adaptive elasticity …

The ability of living bone to adapt its material structure and form to its mechanical loading is
very well-known. Resorption of extra-cellular matrices by osteoclasts is followed by …

Abstract Mechano-growth factor (MGF), an insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) splice variant,
often serves as an important local tissue repair factor in response to the mechanical …
