Friction modeling of a high-precision positioning system using linear permanent magnet synchronous motors is investigated. The friction force is measured precisely by some specific experiments to eliminate the parasitic ripple force. The experimental data ...
Motivated by applications in orthopaedic and maxillo-facial surgery, the mechanical behaviour of cortical bone in cyclic overloads at physiological strain rates is investigated. To this end, a new one-dimensional rate-independent constitutive model for com ...
A measurement technique using flexible PVDF gages for characterizing the propagation of pressure waves in biological tissues is developed. We demonstrated that experimental measurements, coupled with numerical simulations, represent a promising method to o ...

Motivated by mechanical analysis of bones and bone-implant systems, a 3D constitutive law describing the macroscopic mechanical behaviour of both cortical and trabecular bone in cyclic (not fatigue) overloads is developed. The proposed model which mathemat ...
The object of this work has been to develop a mechanical and numerical model of the eye submitted to vibrations, and in particular, to calculate the influence of intraocular pressure (IOP) on the eye resonance frequencies. Our mechanical model of the eye r ...
