Abstract Knee osteoarthritis (OA) and obesity are major public health concerns that closely intertwined. This intimate relationship was documented by considering as the most significant preventable risk factor associated with knee OA. To date, however, effects of on joint's passive-active structure cartilage loading have been inconclusive. Hence, this study investigates intricate between OA, centering biomechanical changes in joint active passive reactions during stance phase gait. Using a...
Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a crucial role in enzymatically digesting cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) components, resulting degraded with altered mechanical loading capacity. Overexpression of MMPs is often caused by trauma, physiologic conditions and disease. To understand the synergistic impact have on biomechanical properties, from two subfamilies: collagenase (MMP-1) gelatinase (MMP-9) were investigated this study. Three different ratios MMP-1 (c) MMP-9 (g),...
Understanding the mechanics behind knee joint injuries and providing appropriate treatment is crucial for improving physical function, quality of life, employability. In this study, we used a hybrid molecular dynamics-finite element-musculoskeletal model to determine level loads can withstand when landing from different heights (20, 40, 60 cm), including height at which cartilage damage occurs. The was driven by kinematics–kinetics data asymptomatic subjects peak loading instance drop...
Plant petioles and stems are hierarchical cellular structures, displaying structuralfeatures defined at multiple length scales. The current work focuses on the multi-scalemodelling of plant tissue, considering two orders structural hierarchy, cell wall tissue.The stiffness tissue is largely governed by geometry cells, thecomposition properties its constituents. wallis analogous to a fiber reinforced composite, where cellulose microfibril (CMF) theload bearing component. For multilayered...
Plant petioles and stems are hierarchical cellular structures, displaying structural features defined at multiple length scales. One or more of the intermediate levels consists tissues, in which distribution is quasirandom. The current work focuses on realistic modeling plant tissue microstructures. finite-edge centroidal Voronoi tessellation (FECVT) here introduced to overcome drawbacks semi-infinite edges a typical model. FECVT can generate model microstructure, might have finite its...

Hip fracture of elderly people—suffering from osteoporosis—is a severe public health concern, which can be reduced by providing prior assessment hip risk. Image-based finite element analysis (FEA) has been considered an effective computational tool to assess the Considering femoral neck region is weakest, risk indicators (FRI) are evaluated for both single-legged stance and sideways fall configurations compared between left right femurs each subject. Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT)...
The purpose of this study is to understand the effect essential surgical design parameters on collateral and cruciate ligaments behavior for a Bone-Patellar-Tendon-Bone (BPTB) anterior ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) surgery. A parametric finite element model biomechanical experiments depicting ACL-R surgery associated with global sensitivity analysis was adopted in work. were six intraoperative variables, two-quadrant coordinates femoral tunnel placement, sagittal coronal angles, graft...
Image-based finite element analysis (FEA) has been considered an effective computational tool to predict hip fracture risk. The patient specific FEA gives insight into the inclusive effect of three-dimensional (3D) complex bone geometry, and distribution inhomogeneous isotropic material p roperties in conjunction with loading conditions. neck region a femur is primarily weakest which likely happen, when someone falls. A sideways fall results development greater tensile compressive stresses,...
Plant petioles can be considered as hierarchical cellular structures, displaying geometric features defined at multiple length scales.
