Measuring and modeling the motor system with machine learning
Alexander Mathis, Alessandro Marin Vargas
The utility of machine learning in understanding the motor system is promising a revolution in how to collect, measure, and analyze data. The field of movement science already elegantly incorporates theory and engineering principles to guide experimental w ...
2021Understanding the mechanisms of adhesive wear for heterogeneous materials through MD simulations
Tribology properties emerge from a variety of mechanisms occurring along the sliding surfaces, at different length scales and time scales. Engineering friction and wear laws are mostly empirical, fitted against experimental results and thus only valid on a ...
2021Viscoelastic surface electrode arrays to interface with viscoelastic tissues
Stéphanie Lacour, Alix Esther Anne Trouillet, Nicolas Vachicouras, Florian Dylan Fallegger, Christina Myra Tringides
Bioelectronic interfacing with living tissues should match the biomechanical properties of biological materials to reduce damage to the tissues. Here, the authors present a fully viscoelastic microelectrode array composed of an alginate matrix and carbon-b ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021Repeated exposure to tripping like perturbations elicits more precise control and lower toe clearance of the swinging foot during steady walking
Controlling minimum toe clearance (MTC) is considered an important factor in preventing tripping. In the current study, we investigated modifications of neuro-muscular control underlying toe clearance during steady locomotion induced by repeated exposure t ...
ELSEVIER2021Engineered Extracellular Matrices with Integrated Wireless Microactuators to Study Mechanobiology
Mahmut Selman Sakar, Erik Mailand, Nikolaos Bouklas, Fazil Emre Uslu
Mechanobiology explores how forces regulate cell behaviors and what molecular machinery are responsible for the sensing, transduction, and modulation of mechanical cues. To this end, probing of cells cultured on planar substrates has served as a primary ex ...
2021Design and dynamic analysis of soft pneumatic systems for wearable robots
There are many challenges in the development of pneumatically powered soft robots due to the non-linearities of the materials used, non-linear pneumatic flow, complex non-standard designs, and high compliance that leads to loading-specific mechanical behav ...
EPFL2021Self-organized patterning of cell morphology via mechanosensitive feedback
Tissue organization is often characterized by specific patterns of cell morphology. How such patterns emerge in developing tissues is a fundamental open question. Here, we investigate the emergence of tissue-scale patterns of cell shape and mechanical tiss ...
ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD2021Prediction of Self-Assembled Dewetted Nanostructures for Photonics Applications via a Continuum-Mechanics Framework
François Gallaire, Fabien Sorin, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Pierre-Luc Eloi Piveteau, Louis Marie Philippe Martin-Monier
When a liquid film lies on a nonwettable substrate, the configuration is unstable, and the film spontaneously ruptures to form droplets. This phenomenon, known as dewetting, commonly leads to undesirable morphological changes. Nevertheless, recent works, c ...
2021Numerical Generation and Contact Analysis of Rough Surfaces in Concrete
Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir
In concrete structures, opened cracks contribute significantly to the transfer of shear and normal stresses through the contact forces occurring between fractured surfaces. Such contact forces are due to protruding asperities, engaged by interlocking and f ...
JAPAN CONCRETE INST2021Predrilled locking compression plate is more accurate than tension band wiring in restoring articular geometry of the ulnar greater sigmoid notch after olecranon Chevron osteotomy
Alexandre Terrier, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair
Introduction: The olecranon Chevron osteotomy (OCO) is commonly used to approach complex intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. Predrilled tension band wiring (TBW) has historically been used to fix OCO. However, clinical outcomes are burdened by ...
