The effect of an elastic deformation on optical properties of an aeolotropic medium (piezo-optic effect) is explicitly established from an energy function. Then is deduced the number of distinct coefficients ruling this effect in the special case of quartz ...
Ligaments play a central role in the stability of the knee. Due to the increase in sport activities of the young population, rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has become a frequent clinical problem. A surgical procedure replacing the deficien ...
Most previous studies of arterial wall elasticity and rheology have assumed that the properties of the wall are uniform across the thickness of the media and, therefore, that the relationship between stress and strain may be described by a constitutive equ ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) force-distance curves have become a fundamental tool in several fields of research, such as surface science, materials engineering, biochemistry and biology. Furthermore, they have great importance for the study of surface int ...
A poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel was used as a scaffold for chondrocyte culture. Branched PEG-vinylsulfone macromers were end-linked with thiol-bearing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-sensitive peptides (GCRDGPQGIWGQDRCG) to form a three-dimensi ...
Viscoelasticity and crack growth govern the long-term deformability of concrete and thus its service behaviour and its durability. For low load levels, viscoelasticity behaves quasilinearly and crack growth is inactive. On the other hand, for high load lev ...
