Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was the first imaging tool widely utilized by
clinicians to assess fracture risk, especially in postmenopausal women. The development of …

Background For biomechanical investigations on bone or bone implants, bone quality
represents an important potential bias. Several techniques for assessing bone quality have …

Abstract Purpose of Review This paper seeks to evaluate and compare recent advances in
the clinical assessment of the changes in bone mechanical properties that take place as a …

Objectives Microindentation has the potential to measure the stiffness of an individual
patient's bone. Bone stiffness plays a crucial role in the press-fit stability of orthopaedic …

Abstract Purpose of Review The mechanical integrity of bone is determined by the direct
measurement of bone mechanical properties. This article presents an overview of the …

Daily physiological activities subject our skeletal system to cyclic loading with varying
frequencies and magnitudes. These loadings interact with the microstructure of bone and …

Musculoskeletal tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and muscle, are natural composite
materials that are constructed with a hierarchical structure ranging from the cell to tissue …

Unlike the known relationships between traditional mechanical properties and
microstructural features of bone, the factors that influence the mechanical resistance of bone …

A new framework for route guidance, as part of a path decision support tool, for off-road
driving scenarios is presented in this paper. The algorithm accesses information gathered …

This study aims to investigate the drilling performance of a copper/diamond functionally
graded grinding wheel (FGGW) fabricated by centrifugal sintered-casting for carbon fiber …
