Biomechanical simulation of segmented intrusion of a mandibular canine using Robot Orthodontic Measurement & Simulation System (ROSS).

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
OBJECTIVE: Aim of this study was to investigate the forces and moments during segmented intrusion of a mandibular canine using Cantilever-Intrusion-Springs (CIS).

A machine learning system for artificial ligaments with desired mechanical properties in ACL reconstruction applications.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the important tissues to maintain the stability of the human knee joint, but it is difficult for this ligament to self-heal after injury. Consequently, transplantation of artificial ligaments (ALs) has gained ...

Self-organising maps in the analysis of strains of human abdominal wall to identify areas of similar mechanical behaviour.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
The study refers to the application of a type of artificial neural network called the Self-Organising Map (SOM) for the identification of areas of the human abdominal wall that behave in a similar mechanical way. The research is based on data acquire...

Robot and mechanical testing of a specialist manual toothbrush for cleaning efficacy and improved force control.

BMC oral health
BACKGROUND: Toothbrushes require flexibility to access all dental surfaces and remove plaque effectively, but they should also aim to prevent or limit overbrushing and consequent damage to teeth and gums. In two studies, the physical properties and c...

A Modular, Mechanical Knee Model for the Development and Validation of Robotic Testing Methodologies.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Six-degree-of-freedom robotic testing is used to gain insight into knee function by measuring the biomechanics of cadaveric knees. However, it can be challenging to use cadaveric knees to validate robotic testing methodologies and to compare methodol...
