Collagen fibre orientation and dispersion govern ultimate tensile strength, stiffness and the fatigue performance of bovine pericardium
(2019)The durability of bovine pericardium leaflets employed in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) can significantly limit the longevity of heart valve prostheses. Collagen fibres are the dominant load bearing component of bovine ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Fatigue Strength on Mechanical Notched Components under Multiaxial Loadings
(Elsevier, 2011)This paper deals with the fatigue behaviour of complex, three-dimensional, stress concentrations under multiaxial loadings. Starting from the stress field obtained by means of a linear elastic analysis and taking advantage ... -
Self-healing materials: What can nature teach us?
(2017)Natural materials such as bone and insect cuticle are capable of self-repair, a facility that greatly increases their durability and safe working stress. Some engineering materials have also been designed to be self-healing, ...
