[EN] Head trauma following a ballistic impact in a helmeted head is assessed in this work by means of finite element models. Both the helmet and the head models employed were validated against experimental high-rate impact ...
[EN] In this work, explicit expressions to estimate all the transversely isotropic elastic constants of lamellar bone as a function of the volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) are provided. The methodology presented is ...
[EN] This work focuses on the analysis of the influence of different machining factors on the fretting fatigue behaviour of Inconel 718. Fretting fatigue tests using a flat-to-flat with rounded edges contact were carried ...
Belda González, Ricardo(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-09-02)
[EN] Bone fracture is a social health problem of increasing magnitude because of its prevalence in aged population due to osteoporosis. Bone quality is often characterized by bone mineral density (BMD) measured at cancellous ...
[EN] Lattice and porous structures have attracted attention in scientific literature due to the development of 3D printers that facilitate their manufacturing. A thorough understanding of the mechanical behaviour of these ...
[EN] Background and objective : Elastic and strength properties of lamellar tissue are essential to analyze the mechanical behaviour of bone at the meso- or macro-scale. Although many effort s have been made to model the ...
[EN] Open cell polyurethane foams are often used as cancellous bone surrogates because of their similarities in morphology and mechanical response. In this work, open cell polyurethane foams of three different densities ...
[EN] (1) Background: Open-cell polyurethane foam mechanical behavior is highly influenced by microstructure. The determination of the failure mechanisms and the characterization of the deformation modes involved at the ...
