This best describes the new bone-mending technology developed at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois by Ramille Shah and her colleagues. They used ink made from a natural bone mineral called ...
Researchers have developed a synthetic 'hyperelastic bone' that can be customized using a 3D-printer and implanted in the body to mend damaged bones. The flexible bone-grafting material not only ...
A new composite material that integrates seamlessly into living tissue could someday bind bones and tendons together following an injury. A synthetic mixture of ceramic dust and a polymer can be ...
Bone implants, while always a complicated matter, are easier to perform in adults who are already fully grown, but for children whose bones are still growing, it makes the process a lot more ...
A helical shear deformation is a composition of non-universal, axisymmetric, anti-plane shear and rotational shear deformations, shear states that are separately controllable only in special kinds of ...
Little-known features in FEA software convert test data into inputs for simulating hyperelastic materials. Accurate material-data inputs are essential for any computer-aided-engineering analysis. But ...
Three-D printers can make just about anything — even synthetic bones. The material, called hyperelastic bone or HB, stimulates new bone growth when grafted to a bone injury site, and its developers ...
