Unravelling anisotropic nonlinear shear elasticity in muscles: Towards a non-invasive assessment of stress in living organisms
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 15;150:106325. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106325. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcoustoelasticity theory describes propagation of shear waves in uniaxially stressed medium and allows the retrieval of nonlinear elastic coefficients of tissues. In transverse isotropic medium such as muscles the theory leads to 9 different configurations of propagating shear waves (stress axis vs. fibers axis vs. shear wave polarization axis vs. shear wave propagation axis). In this work we propose to use 4 configurations to quantify these nonlinear parameters ex vivo and in vivo. Ex vivo experiments combini...

Numerical analysis of the mechanical behavior of ceramic dental implants based on Ce-TZP/Al < sub > 2 < /sub > O < sub > 3 < /sub > composite
This study aimed to identify the potential use of the ceramic composite ZrO2(CeO2)-Al2O3 as a dental implant due to its intrinsic geometry and different masticatory loads based on finite element simulations. Ceramic samples were sintered at 1500 °C-2h, and characterized: The mechanical properties of the ceramic composite (hardness, fracture toughness, flexural strength, Young's Modulus, and Poisson ratio) were determined, in addition to the relative density and its structural characteristics. Commercial dental implant designs (incisal and third-molar) on CAD models were used in this study as an initial implant geometry ap...

Mechanical properties, in vitro degradation and cytocompatibility of woven textiles manufactured from PLA/PCL commingled yarns
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2023 Dec 20;150:106340. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106340. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe mechanical, thermal, and biological performance of fabrics manufactured with hybrid PLA/PCL commingled yarns were studied. Commingled hybrid yarns take advantage of the higher elastic modulus of PLA and the higher ductility and toughness of PCL to produce yarns and fabrics with high strength and ductility that is transferred to the woven textiles. Furthermore, PLA and PCL exhibit different degradation rates and also allow to tailor this property. Degradation of the textiles was carried out in phosphate-buf...

Characterization and in vitro bioactivity evaluation of polyvinyl alcohol incorporated electro spun chitosan/ fluor apatite nanofibrous scaffold for bone tissue engineering
In this study, polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/fluor apatite scaffolds with different concentrations of polyvinyl alcohol of 0.075 g ml-1 and 0.1 g ml-1, respectively named A and B fabricated by electrospinning method to use in tissue engineering. By examining the scaffolds by FE-SEM, an appetite layer formation which was on the scaffold surface was clearly observable. Increasing the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol from 0.075 g ml-1 to 0.1 g ml-1 in the nanofibrous scaffolds improved degradation characteristic with an optimized value of 26 ± 2 and 42 ± 1 % after 28 days, respectively. The mean diameter of fibers both scaff...

Therefore, elastography techniques can be used to differentiate cancerous from healthy tissue. Due to probe size and restricted handling, most elastography techniques are not applicable in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Established techniques such as endoscopic ultrasound elastography measure under undefined boundary conditions, making the determination of quantitative mechanical properties challenging. Water flow elastography (WaFE) has recently been intr...
