Influence of muscle length on the three-dimensional architecture and aponeurosis dimensions of rabbit calf muscles
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2024 Feb 7;152:106452. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106452. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe function of a muscle is highly dependent on its architecture, which is characterized by the length, pennation, and curvature of the fascicles, and the geometry of the aponeuroses. During in vivo function, muscles regularly undergo changes in length, thereby altering their architecture. During passive muscle lengthening, fascicle length (FL) generally increases and the angle of fascicle pennation (FP) and the fascicle curvature (FC) decrease, while the aponeuroses increase in length but decrease in width. Mu...

Effects of Nd: YAG LASER irradiation and O < sub > 2 < /sub > plasma on the adhesive performance of poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK)
CONCLUSIONS: Nd: YAG LASER irradiation and O2 plasma treatments can improve the SBS between PEEK and resin adhesive, with the 0.75 W Nd: YAG LASER being the preferred treatment method.PMID:38394766 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106461 (Source: Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials)

Biomechanical behavior of molars restored with direct and indirect restorations in combination with deep margin elevation
CONCLUSIONS: All tested restoration materials exhibited comparable fatigue survival and fracture strength in this laboratory and in silico study. However, it is important to recognize the potential for more severe and irreparable fractures when opting for deeply luted glass-ceramic inlay restorations in clinical practice. In such cases, it would be prudent to consider the alternative option being a direct composite approach, because of its more forgiving fracture types and repairability.CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Molars with deep approximal direct and indirect restorations, whether with or without DME, are comparable in their ...

Investigation of cell-accelerated corrosion (CAC) on the CoCrMo alloy with segregation banding: Hip implant applications
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2024 Jan 30;152:106449. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106449. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetal alloy microstructure plays a crucial role in corrosion associated with total hip replacement (THR). THR is a prominent strategy that uses metal implants such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys due to their advantageous biological and mechanical properties. Despite all benefits, these implants undergo corrosion and wear processes in-vivo in a synergistic manner called tribocorrosion. Also, the implant retrieval findings reported that fretting corrosion occurred in-vivo, evidenced by the damage ...

An interferometric-based tensile tester to resolve damage events within reconstituted multi-filaments collagen bundles
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2024 Feb 16;152:106467. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106467. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUnderstanding how mechanical damage propagates in load-bearing tissues such as skin, tendons and ligaments, is key to developing regenerative medicine solutions for when these tissues fail. For collagenous tissues in particular, damage is typically assessed after mechanical testing using a broad range of microscopy techniques because standard tensile testing systems do not have the time and force sensitivity to resolve mechanical damage events. Here we introduce an interferometric detection scheme to measure t...

Tribological behavior and in vitro biocompatibility of powder metallurgical Ti-15Mo/HA composite for bone repair
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2024 Feb 15;152:106466. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106466. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTi-15Mo/HA composite was prepared by powder metallurgy, and the influence of Hydroxyapatite (HA) on the microstructure, tribological behavior and in vitro biocompatibility was studied by comparison with TC4. The results show that the Ti-15Mo/HA composite consists of increased α-Ti, decreased β-Ti and a variety of ceramic phases (CaTiO3, Ca3(PO4)2, CaO, etc.) with the increase of HA content. The friction coefficient and wear rate of Ti-15Mo/HA composite is apparently lower than those of TC4 due to solid solut...

Open-system force-elongation relationship of collagen in chemo-mechanical equilibrium with water
J Mech Behav Biomed Mater. 2024 Feb 14;152:106464. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106464. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA significant deformation mechanism of collagen at low loads is molecular uncoiling and rearrangement. Although the effect of hydration and cross-linking has been investigated at larger loads when collagen undergoes molecular sliding, their effects on collagen molecular reorganization remain unclear. Here we develop two thermodynamic models that use the notion of open-system elasticity to elucidate the effect of swelling due to water uptake during deformation of collagen networks under low and high cross-linki...
