The response of bone tissue to mechanical load is complex and includes plastic hardening, viscosity and damage. The quantification of these effects plays a mayor role in bone research and in biomechanical clinical trials as to better understand related diseases. In this study, the damage growth in individual wet human trabeculae subjected to cyclic overloading is quantified by inverse rheological modeling.

In this research, we applied THz coherent phonon spectroscopy to optically probe the vibrational modes of the epitaxially-grown bi-layer and tri-layer MoS on sapphire substrate. The layers' THz vibration is displacively stimulated and temporally retrieved by near-UV femtosecond laser pulses, revealing Raman-active and Raman-inactive modes in one measurement. With the complete breathing modes revealed, here we extend the linear chain model by considering the elastic contact with the substrate and vdWs coupling of the next nearest MoS layer to analyze the effective spring constants.

Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses based on our first-principles density functional theory calculations are used to interpret the experimentally observed formation of Cu carpets intercalated under the top layer of a 2-MoS substrate. Spontaneous Cu transport from Cu pyramids on top of the MoS substrate through surface point defects to the growing Cu carpet is shown to be driven by a slightly lower chemical potential for the Cu carpet. We demonstrate that the competition between a preference for a thicker Cu carpet and the cost of elastic stretching of the top MoS layer results in a selected Cu carpet thickness.

Heterogeneous metal implants have been applied in clinical treatments of skeletal wounds, but their low antibacterial properties and the possibility of a release of metal ions may have harmful influences on the human body. Therefore, a polymer implant with low cost, high safety, an elastic modulus similar to that of human bone, and a good antibacterial property must be produced for orthopedic treatments. In this study, the surface of a 3D-printed polyetheretherketone (PEEK) disk was grown with ZnO/TiO rodlike arrays using a chemical bath deposition.

Mechanical characterisation of soft viscous materials is essential for many applications including aerospace industries, material models for surgical simulation, and tissue mimicking materials for anatomical models. Constitutive material models are, therefore, necessary to describe soft biological tissues in physiologically relevant strain ranges. Hereby, the adaptive quasi-linear viscoelastic (AQLV) model enables accurate modelling of the strain-dependent non-linear viscoelastic behaviour of soft tissues with a high flexibility.
