  3. 22. A fibre-reinforced poroviscoelastic finite element model for the Achilles tendon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Anna Gustafsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Tendons connect muscles to bone and consist of a complex structure of almost parallel collagen fibres embedded in a hydrated matrix. The mechanical behaviour of tendons is viscoelastic and highly non-linear. The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body and it is essential for walking and jumping. READ MORE

  4. 23. Amyloid Nucleation in Presence of Crowders

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation
