The effect of pore size on permeability and cell attachment in collagen scaffolds for tissue engineering.
(IOS Press, 2007)The permeability of scaffolds and other three-dimensional constructs used for tissue engineering applications is important as it controls the diffusion of nutrients in and waste out of the scaffold as well as influencing ... -
Mechanics applied to skeletal ontogeny and phylogeny
(Springer, 2002)The musculo-skeletal system serves the mechanical function of creating motion and transmitting loads. It is made up mainly of four components: bone, cartilage, muscle and fibrous connective tissue. These have evolved over ... -
Modelling damage growth and failure in elastic materials with random defect distributions
(Royal Irish Academy, 2004)Failure in materials under cyclic loading occurs by the growth and propagation of cracks. If they are sufficiently numerous, the cracks can be considered to be continuously distributed in the material. In this paper, a ...
