A study of the temporomandibular joint during bruxism
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
A finite element model of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the human mandible was fabricated to study the effect of abnormal loading, such as awake and asleep bruxism, on the articular disc. A quasilinear viscoelastic ...

Quasi-Linear Viscoelastic Model of the Articular Disc of the Temporomandibular Joint
(Springer, 2016-09)
A precise characterization of the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is essential to study the masticatory biomechanics. The disc is responsible for the load distribution over the articular surface and for ...

Effect of freezing storage time on the elastic and viscous properties of the porcine TMJ disc
(Elsevier, 2017)
The correct characterisation of the articular disc of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is key to study the masticatory biomechanics. For the interval from extraction until testing, freezing is the most used preservation ...

Aplicación de la mecánica de fluidos y la simulación: Tracto urinario y catéteres ureterales
(INIESTARES S.A., 2016)
The mechanics of urine during its transport from the renal pelvis to the bladder is of great interest for urologists. The knowledge of the different physical variables and their interrelationship, both in physiologic ...

Elastic properties of woven bone: effect of mineral content and collagen fibrils orientation
(Springer, 2017)
Woven bone is a type of tissue that forms mainly during fracture healing or fetal bone development. Its microstructure can be modeled as a composite with a matrix of mineral (hydroxyapatite) and inclusions of collagen ...

Experimental characterisation of breast tissues and its application to a numerical model of a healthy breast
(2017-01-19)
In this work, a great contribution to the knowledge of the biomechanics of the breast has been done. None of the previous works were valid to simulate the real movement of the breast and a little knowledge existed about ...

About kinematic consistency in the inverse dynamics problem in biomechanics
(2015)
The inverse dynamic analysis is used in the study of the human gait to evaluate the reaction forces transmitted between anatomical segments and to calculate the net joint moments resulting from the muscle activity in each ...

A bone remodelling model including the effect of damage on the steering of BMUs
(Elsevier, 2014)
Bone remodelling in cortical bone is performed by the so-called basic multicellular units (BMUs), which produce osteons after completing the remodelling sequence. Burger et al. (2003) hypothesized that BMUs follow the ...

A polynomial hyperelastic model for the mixture of fat and glandular tissue in female breast
(Wiley, 2015-09)
In the breast of adult women, glandular and fat tissues are intermingled and cannot be clearly distinguished. This work studies if this mixture can be treated as a homogenized tissue. A mechanical model is proposed for the ...
