TL;DR: In this article, a smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) domain embedded into a continuum finite element (FE) model was developed to characterize anisotropic deformation and damage behavior of cortical bone under a cutting process.

TL;DR: In this paper, size-dependent crystal plasticity of metal single crystals is investigated using finite element method based on a phenomenological crystal-plasticity model, incorporating both first-order and second-order effects.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of finite-element simulations of conventional cutting and ultrasonically assisted cutting of bone in order to understand thermomechanics of the process and investigate the levels of tool penetration force and temperatures induced in the bone when a hard cutting tool penetrates into it in both types of cutting.

TL;DR: The mechanical properties of a polymeric stent over two-year in vitro degradation were studied and characterised using atomic force microscopy and nanoindentation techniques, complemented with analyses of weight loss, gel permeation chromatography and differential scanning calorimetry.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the analysis of matrix cracking in [0n/90m/0n] carbon fiber-reinforced laminates under fatigue is presented.
