We review the topology–property relationship and spread of Young's modulus–Poisson's ratio duos in three main classes auxetic metamaterials.
The geometry of porous scaffolds that are used for bone tissue engineering and/or substitution has recently been shown to significantly influence the cellular response and rate regeneration. Most importantly, it generation increases with curvature is much larger on concave surfaces as compared convex planar surfaces. In this work, recent discoveries concerning effects geometrical features such surface curvature, pore shape, size regeneration process reviewed. addition reviewing experimental...
A review of mechanical meta-materials that offer unusual properties and new functionalities.
Transforming flat sheets into three-dimensional structures has emerged as an exciting manufacturing paradigm on a broad range of length scales. Among other advantages, this technique permits the use functionality-inducing planar processes starting materials, which after shape-shifting, result in unique combination macro-scale geometry and surface topography. Fabricating arbitrarily complex geometries requires ability to change intrinsic curvature initially structures, while simultaneously...
It is known that the mechanical properties of bone-mimicking porous biomaterials are a function morphological structure, including configuration and size repeating unit cell from which they made. However, literature on this topic limited, primarily because challenge in fabricating with arbitrarily complex designs. In present work, we studied relationship between relative density (RD) Ti6Al4V EFI alloy five compressive material, namely elastic gradient or modulus (Es20–70), first maximum...
Rationally designed meta-implants were found to create compression along both of their contact lines with the surrounding bone, thereby decreasing chance bone–implant interface failure (Hoffman's criterion) and wear particle-induced osteolysis, improving bone ingrowth.
Background: A cam deformity is a major risk factor for hip osteoarthritis, and its formation thought to be influenced by high-impact sporting activities during growth. Purpose: To (1) prospectively study whether can evolve over time in adolescents only occurs skeletal maturation (2) examine clinical or radiographic features predict the of deformity. Study Design: Cohort (prognosis); Level evidence, 2. Methods: Preprofessional soccer players (N = 63; mean age, 14.43 years; range, 12-19 years)...
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) enables simultaneous programming and production of thermo-responsive shape-shifting materials.
Abstract Porous titanium scaffolds have good mechanical properties that make them an interesting bone substitute material for large defects. These can be produced with selective laser melting, which has the advantage of tailoring structure's architecture. Reducing strut size reduces stiffness structure and may a positive effect on formation. Two struts 120‐µm (titanium‐120) or 230‐µm (titanium‐230) were studied in load‐bearing critical femoral defect rats. The was stabilized internal plate...
