Bone microdamage can be repaired through bone remodeling induced by loading. In this study, a loading device was developed for improved efficiency and the self-repair process of bone microdamage was studied in ovariectomized rats. First, four-point bending fixtures capable of holding two live rats simultaneously were designed. Rats were loaded and subjected to a sinusoidal wave for 10,000 cycle...

The mechanical properties of cancellous bone are fundamental in providing structural support and flexibility during physical activities. Characterization its behaviour were found crucial as information the elastic failure tissue may potentially be used to study effects drug treatments, aging disease at level. This aims present difference between compressive three-point bending loads. Cancellous...

Abstract Delamination is considered as one of the most critical failure modes which occurs near free edges in laminated composites due to high interlaminar stress. When classical plate theory used determine plane stress, stresses cannot be assessed by this theory, it adopts stress assumption. For that, a three-dimensional finite element analysis adopted calculate in-plane well out-of-plane unde...
