Surface instability of sheared soft tissues.
When a block made of an elastomer is subjected to a large shear, its surface remains flat. When a block of biological soft tissue is subjected to a large shear, it is likely that its surface in the plane of shear will buckle (appearance of wrinkles). One factor that distinguishes soft tissues from rubberlike solids is the presence--sometimes visible to the naked eye--of oriented collagen fiber ...
متن کاملPatellofemoral instability: surgical treatment of soft tissues.
Instability of the patella is a relatively frequent occurrence in adolescents. Its pathogenesis, which is multi-factorial, is still much debated. Stability of the patella is guaranteed by a delicate balance of a series of factors (osteo-cartilaginous, ligamentous and muscular), and it is not surprising that alteration of one or more of these can lead to pathological conditions that can range fr...
متن کاملMagnetic instability in a sheared azimuthal flow
We study the magneto-rotational instability of an incompressible flow which rotates with angular velocity Ω(r) = a + b/r where r is the radius and a and b are constants. We find that an applied magnetic field destabilises the flow, in agreement with the results of Rüdiger & Zhang (2001). We extend the investigation in the region of parameter space which is Rayleigh stable. We also study the ins...
متن کاملSurface creasing instability of soft polyacrylamide cell culture substrates.
Efforts to understand and engineer cell behavior in mechanically soft environments frequently employ two-dimensional cell culture substrates consisting of thin hydrogel layers with low elastic modulus supported on rigid substrates to facilitate culturing, imaging, and analysis. Here we characterize how an elastic creasing instability of the gel surface may occur for the most widely used soft ce...
متن کاملSoft tissues
The deposition of amorphous calcium salts within the soft tissues is variously called mineralization or calcification. Two forms of calcium salts may be found in the soft tissues: calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate and calcium hydroxyapatite. If bony trabeculae are discernible within the mineralized focus the term ossification is used, sometimes prefixed with the terms ectopic or heterotopic. Ther...
