Bone assessing method for fracture risk, involves inserting test probe through periosteum and soft tissue on bone of subject so that test probe contacts bone, where probe is inserted into bone to create microscopic fractures

We present a python implementation of the implicit level set algorithm to model propagation of planar hydraulic fractures. This algorithm was first introduced by Peirce & Detournay in (2008). The growth of a fluid driven planar fracture is modelled by coup ...
Dry-snow slab avalanches are generally caused by a sequence of fracture processes including (1) failure initiation in a weak snow layer underlying a cohesive slab, (2) crack propagation within the weak layer and (3) tensile fracture through the slab which ...
We present three-dimensional finite-element simulations showing the propagation of slip fronts at striped heterogeneous interfaces. The heterogeneous area consists of alternating stripes of weaker and stronger frictional properties, which is equivalent to ...
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in our aging society. This metabolic disease, which is characterized by a deterioration of the bone microarchitecture and a significant loss of bone mass, is affecting a rising number of mostly elderly patients. The m ...
The hip is one of the most injured joint in the body with ageing. Osteoarthritis and degenerative diseases often lead to the necessity of a total hip arthroplasty in order to reduce pain and increase mobility. The advantage of cementless implants resides i ...
Reversed shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is recommended in case of severe muscle deficiency, along with important joint wear. Although having a correct placement of the prosthesis after the operation and a recovery of the mobility, several cases of scapula fra ...
Osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal diseases that lead to an accelerated bone loss due to an imbalance in bone turnover. This low bone mass and degraded bone microarchitecture cause a reduction in mechanical properties and an associated increas ...
Friction welding is a joining technique for wood materials. The positive aspects of this technique are the speed of processing and the absence of chemical or mechanical agents, but the welded joints are not water resistant. To understand better the effect ...
Remote sensing of fractures with elastic waves is important in fields ranging from seismology to nondestructive testing. In many geophysical applications, fractures control the flow of fluids such as water, hydrocarbons or magma. While previous analytic de ...
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is recommended in case of severe muscle deficiency, along with important joint wear. Although having a correct placement of the prosthesis after the operation and a recovery of the mobility, several cases of scapu ...
