1. 1. Fractography, mechanical and structural analysis of trabecular bone from the femoral head of human cadavers

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Christina Rönngren; [2017]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A lowered mineral density in the skeletal bones may indicate osteoporosis and an increased risk of fragility fractures. However, lower bone mass does not reveal the whole truth about the status of the bone quality. READ MORE

3. 2. An Algorithm for Structural Topology Optimization of Multibody Systems

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Toheed Ghandriz; [2014]
   Keywords : Dymola; Abaqus; TOSCA; nonlinear Differential Algebraic Equation; finite element method; flexible body; SIMP; dynamic body; Topology Optimization of Multibody Systems; flying element; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Topology Optimization (TO) of static structures with fixed loading is a very interesting topic in structural mechanics that has found many applications in industrial design tasks. The extension of the theory to dynamic loading for designing a Multibody System (MBS) with bodies which are lighter and stronger can be of high interest. READ MORE

4. 3. 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
