... a different strain rate for the ten cycles of preconditioning: 0.01 mm/s (n = 23); 0.1 mm/s (n = 26); 1 mm/s (n = 23); and no preconditioning employed (n = 16). Samples preconditioned at 0.01 mm/s were significantly less stiff than those that had not received preconditioning (p = 0.014). No other results were...

...Krashn K. Dwivedi; Piyush Lakhani; Sachin Kumar; Navin Kumar The understanding of strain rate-dependent mechanical properties of the skin is important for accurate prediction of its biomechanics under different loading conditions. This study investigated the effect of strain rate, i.e., 0.025/s...

... wave. Our numerical results demonstrated a transient pressure elevation in both vitreous and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). A high strain rate over 100 s −1 was observed throughout the optic nerve during the blast with the most vulnerable part located at the intracanalicular region. The optic nerve...

... from lower limbs. The aim of this work was to study the effect of the strain rate on the shear properties of trabecular bone samples from women with hip fracture (from 65 to 100 years). Cylindrical samples were core drilled from human femoral heads along the primary trabecular direction. The cylinder's...

...S. Charoenphan; A. Polchai Crack growths in compact bones driven by various strain rate levels were studied using finite element modeling. The energy resistance curves in bovine femur cortical bones were characterized, whereas the orthotropic viscoelasticity in bone materials was accounted...
