Macroscale modelling of Bridgman furnace solidification for the prediction of texture evolution and columnar to equiaxed transition
(Institute of Physics, 2016)Bridgman furnaces are commonly used in solidification research owing to their convenience when setting the desired solidification parameters, specifically, the nominal temperature gradient and nominal growth rate. The work ... -
Manufacture of Reflective Aluminium Surfaces Using Cold Spray
(ASM International, 2018)This research demonstrates the use of cold spray (CS) as an additive manufacturing process to manufacture reflective aluminium coatings. Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas at various gas heating temperatures. Following ... -
Measurement of grinding temperatures using a foil/workpiece thermocouple
(Elsevier, 2012)The high temperature generated in abrasive processes is the main factor responsible for thermal damage to a ground surface. It can be predicted through the thermal balance of the heat fluxes in the process. Such predictions ... -
Measuring and Modeling Oxygen Transport and Consumption in 3D Hydrogels Containing Chondrocytes and Stem Cells of Different Tissue Origins.
(2021)Understanding how the local cellular environment influences cell metabolism, phenotype and matrix synthesis is crucial to engineering functional tissue grafts of a clinically relevant scale. The objective of this study was ... -
Mechanical and fatigue properties of diamond-reinforced Cu and Al metal matrix composites prepared by cold spray
(2021)Diamond-reinforced composites prepared by cold spray are emerging materials simultaneously featuring outstanding thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Their mechanical and fatigue properties relevant ... -
Mechanical behaviour of transparent nano fibrillar cellulose-chitosan nano composite films in dry and wet conditions
(2014)Transparent, biocompatible and biodegradable chitosan (CS) nanocomposite films rein- forced with nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of NFC content on the mechanical properties in ... -
Mechanical Influences on Morphogenesis of the Knee Joint Revealed through Morphological, Molecular and Computational Analysis of Immobilised Embryos.
(University of Edinburgh (datashare), 2011)Very little is known about the regulation of morphogenesis in synovial joints. Mechanical forces generated from muscle contractions are required for normal development of several aspects of normal skeletogenesis. Here we ... -
Mechanically induced structural changes during dynamic compression of engineered cartilaginous constructs can potentially explain increases in bulk mechanical properties.
(2012)Several studies on chondrocyte seeded hydrogels in bioreactor culture report increased mechanical properties of mechanically loaded constructs compared to unloaded free swelling controls despite no significant differences ... -
Mechanically stimulated osteocytes promote the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells via a potential CXCL1/2 mechanism
(2021)Bone represents the most common site for breast cancer metastasis. Bone is a highly dynamic organ that is constantly adapting to its biophysical environment, orchestrated largely by the resident osteocyte network. Osteocytes ... -
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 ... -
Mechanisms of heat transfer for axisymmetric bubble impingement and rebound
(2017)Heat transfer enhancement resulting from the impingement and rebound of bubbles in confined geometries can play an important role in heat transfer applications. Limited studies exist on the impact behavior of large ellipsoidal ... -
A Mechano-Regulation Model of Fracture Repair in Vertebral Bodies
(2010)In this study a multi-scale mechano-regulation model was developed in order to investigate the mechanobiology of trabecular fracture healing in vertebral bodies. A macro-scale finite element model of the spinal segment ... -
Mechano-regulation of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and collagen organisation during skeletal tissue repair
(2009)A number of mechano-regulation theories have been proposed that relate the differentiation pathway of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to their local biomechanical environment. During spontaneous repair processes in skeletal ... -
Mechano-regulation of stem cell differentiation and tissue regeneration in osteochondral defects
(Elsevier, 2005)Cartilage defects that penetrate the subchondral bone can undergo spontaneous repair through the formation of a fibrous or cartilaginous tissue mediated primarily by mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow. This ...
