[EN] Cortical bone can be considered as a heterogeneous composite at microscopic scale, composed of osteons that act as reinforcement fibres embedded in interstitial matrix. Cement lines constitute the interface between ...
[EN] Common practice of surgical treatments in orthopaedics and traumatology involves cutting processes of bone. These operations introduce risk of thermo-mechanical damage, since the threshold of critical temperature ...
In this work, an estimation of the reinforcement factor n of the Halpin Tsai equations used to calculate the transverse stiffness E2 is provided. An improved estimation of the value xi=2 originally proposed by Halpin and ...

[EN] Background and Objective: Hip fracture morphology is an important factor determining the ulterior surgical repair and treatment, because of the dependence of the treatment on fracture morphology. Although numerical ...
[EN] In fatigue problems, an accurate estimation of the propagation direction is important for life prediction. We identify the most relevant factors that affect the crack orientation during the propagation stage of fretting ...
