... and conduit act together. The increased area over which the glue adheres to the nerve and conduit creates a composite structure stronger than either alone. Processing the data preceded statistical testing. Load–displacement curves were formed from the cameras' marker displacement data and the tensile...

...Dominic Monette; Patrick Dumond; Inès Chikhaoui; Paul Nichols; Edward D. Lemaire Composite prosthetic sockets are typically made of fiberglass or carbon fiber. These fibers have good mechanical properties, but relatively poor vibration damping. Flax fibers are claimed to have exceptional vibration...

... implants and biomaterials. A major issue with these models is that the current third-generation epoxy–short fiberglass based composite used as the cortical bone substitute is prone to crack formation and failure in fatigue or repeated quasistatic loading of the model. The purpose of the present study...
