Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the mechanical properties of the meniscus-capsular junction (MCJ) of the medial meniscus, an area that has not been extensively researched despite its importance.
- Using seven cadaveric knees, researchers conducted tensile failure tests to gather data on various mechanical metrics such as maximum load at failure and stiffness.
- Results showed that the MCJ has mechanical properties similar to knee ligaments, suggesting it plays a significant role in knee stability and could have important implications for diagnosing and treating knee injuries.
In this paper we propose a methodology for a fast numerical determination of low cycle fatigue lifetime of superelastic shape memory alloy structures. This method is based on the observation that generally, in low cycle fatigue, shape memory alloy (SMA) structures are subject to loadings that lead to a confined non-linear behaviour at stress concentration points, such as notches. Numerical fatigue lifetime prediction requires the computation of the mechanical state at critical points.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop a numeric method to study the mechanical behavior of an endodontic instrument during different loading paths and to demonstrate the importance of the behavior model in the finite element results.
Study Design: A numeric study of an endodontic instrument was carried out. At first, the geometry was meshed with a finite element code.
