Over the past decade, smart and functional biomaterials have escalated as one of the most
rapidly emerging fields in the life sciences because the performance of biomaterials could …

The use of the Material Extrusion technique with Thermoplastic Elastomers is currently
growing because of the large number of benefits of this family of materials. They are …

The ever-growing field of materials with applications in the biomedical field holds great
promise regarding the design and fabrication of devices with specific characteristics …

Objective This study aimed to compare the trabecular internal structure of different regions of
the mandible according to the grades of appositional classification in the mandible angle …

Stress fractures likely have a 1–2% incidence in athletes in general. In runners, a more
vulnerable population, incidence rates likely range between 3.2 and 21% with female …

In the existing literature, some studies have observed an increase in the elastic modulus of
human cortical bone with strain rate, which has been described as a consequence of the …

Background Numerous prior studies hypothesized a power-law relationship (E∝ ρ α)
between cortical bone Young's modulus (E) and density (ρ) with an exponent 2.3≤ α≤ 3.0 …

Objective. The mechanical properties of ribs from a large number of post-mortem human
subjects (PMHS) were analyzed to search for variation according to age, sex or BMI in the …

Purpose The aim of this paper is to propose a fracture model for human ribs based on
acoustic emission (AE) data. The accumulation of microcracking until a macroscopic crack is …

Rib cross-sectional shapes (characterized by the outer contour and cortical bone thickness)
affect the rib mechanical response under impact loading, thereby influence the rib injury …
