  2. 6. Comparative in vivo and in vitro studies on the biomechanics of maxillary partial dentures. A methodological and experimental study

    Author : Cláudio Pinheiro Fernandes; Lunds universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stomatology; biomechanics; Bite force; conical crowns; denture design; in vitro; in vivo; photoelasticity; strain gauges; Odontology; stress analysis.; Odontologi;

    Abstract : Biomechanical aspects are generally agreed to be significant, particularly during the planning of restorative treatments and the design of prosthetic appliances. However, comparative in vivo/in vitro studies show wide differences in the magnitudes and patterns of functional strains in prosthetic devices. READ MORE

  4. 7. Biomechanics of the Human Eye and Intraocular Pressure Measurements

    Author : Darja Ljubimova; Anders Eriksson; Anders Eklund; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; IOP; GAT; ocular biomechanics; corneoscleral envelope; finite element modelling; parametric analysis; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the reliability of Goldmann-type applanation tonometers (GAT). It deals with the investigation of the relation between predicted intraocular pressure, IOPG and true pressure, IOPT. READ MORE

  5. 8. Simulations of human movements through temporal discretization and optimization

    Author : Manindra Kaphle; Anders Eriksson; Kjartan Halvorsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Forward dynamics; Biomechanics; Temporal discretization; Optimization; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Study of physical phenomena by means of mathematical models is common in various branches of engineering and science. In biomechanics, modelling often involves studying human motion by treating the body as a mechanical system made of interconnected rigid links. READ MORE

  6. 9. Characterising Dental Implant Surfaces by Topographical, Electrochemical, and Biomechanical Methods

    Author : Johanna Löberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Titanium dental implants; 3D-SEM; AFM; Mott-Schottky analysis; surface roughness parameters; biomechanics.;

    Abstract : Replacement of extracted teeth by dental implants was first introduced in the 1950’s. From the beginning, threaded titanium implants with smooth surfaces were used. Later on, screw shaped implants with micro-scaled roughened surfaces were introduced showing bone ingrowth and improved in vivo and in vitro results and good long term stability. READ MORE

  7. 10. Bone structure characterisation using neutron scattering techniques

    Author : Elin Törnquist; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomechanics; neutron tomography; x-ray tomography; small-angle neutron scattering SANS ; small-angle x-ray scattering SAXS ; Experimental mechanics; implant integration; tomography; nanoscale; microscale; mechanical properties;

    Abstract : Bones have unique mechanical properties that originate from their main constituents: mineral, in the form of hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals, and collagen type-I. The stiffness of the HAp mineral combined with the flexibility of collagen, and their intricate hierarchical arrangement from the smallest individual building blocks to the organ level, result in a composite tissue with a remarkable ability to withstand complex loading scenarios.
