Requirements for comparing the performance of finite element models of biological structures.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that the relative performance of un-validated models can be compared so long as they are scaled properly, and offers a theoretical framework and empirical data demonstrating that scaling finite element models to equal force: surface area ratios removes the effects of model size and provides a comparison of stress-strength performance based solely on shape.

Magma chambers: Formation, local stresses, excess pressures, and compartments
TL;DR: In this paper, the in-situ tensile strength of a magma-chamber is estimated based on hydraulic fracture measurements in drill-holes worldwide down to crustal depths of about 9 km.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the rat supraspinatus tendon is ineffective in recreating the original insertion site, even at 8 weeks post‐injury, in the absence of biological or biomechanical enhancements.

Thermal Barrier Coating Life Prediction Model Development
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology is established to predict thermal barrier coating life in an environment similar to that experienced by gas turbine airfoils, and a preliminary life prediction model developed focuses on the two major damage modes identified in the critical experiments tasks.

Finite-element analysis of biting behavior and bone stress in the facial skeletons of bats
TL;DR: The hypothesis that there is a biomechanical link between biting style and craniofacial morphology is investigated by combining biting behavior and bite force data gathered in the field with finite-element (FE) analysis.
