Collagen Denaturation as a Toughening Mechanism in Cortical Bone
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-07)Bone is a highly versatile tissue. It is used for protecting internal organs as ribs, supporting locomotion as long bone, as a weapon in the form of antler, and many other uses. Depending on its use or function the bone ... -
Combined Multibody Musculoskeletal Dynamic Modeling and Finite Element Modeling of the Human Tibia in Countermovement Jumps
(University of Waterloo, 2021-11-25)Computational models have been used to examine and estimate various motions and loading conditions of the human body that are otherwise difficult to examine experimentally. To study human musculoskeletal dynamics, biomechanical ... -
The Effects of Methacrylated Glucosamine on the Mechanical Properties of Gelatin Methacryloyl Hydrogels and Gelatin-Methacryloyl/Nanohydroxyapatite Composite Materials.
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-10)Gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA) has been a material of keen research interest in the past few decades, with diverse potential applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and 3D bioprinting, due to it possessing ... -
An experimentally validated continuum damage mechanics model of the micro-damage process zone during cortical bone fracture
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-19)Bone fractures remain a significant concern worldwide especially with aging and bone damaging diseases. These fractures not only lead to a high rate of morbidity and mortality but also place a considerable burden on the ... -
In vitro evaluation of bone cell response to novel 3D-printable nanocomposite biomaterials for bone reconstruction
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-25)Critical-sized segmental bone defects are a challenging problem for orthopedic surgeons. These defects are unable to heal spontaneously within a patient’s lifetime. Thus, biomaterials are used to repair such defects and ...
