Background context Various modifications to standard “rigid” anterior cervical plate designs (constrained plate) have been developed that allow for some degree of axial translation and/or rotation of the plate (semi-constrained plate)—theoretically promoting proper load sharing with the graft and improved fusion rates. However, previous studies about rigid and dynamic plates have not examined the...
Vascular cells are very responsive to even subtle changes in their local mechanical environment, thus there is a pressing need to quantify normal states of stress and strain as well as any perturbations from these normal states. Toward this end, we must quantify constitutive behaviors for both normal and adapted (maladapted) arteries. In this note, we report the first quantification of changes in...
Energid is developing a realistic surgery simulator that delivers high fidelity visual and haptic feedback based on the physics of deformable objects. Modeling the interaction of surgical tools with soft biological tissue in real time poses challenges because the precise physical models of organs are not readily available, and the simulation of the behavior of tissue has a high computational burden...
