abstract：:We hypothesize that variations of body anthropometry, conjointly with the bone strength, determine the risk of hip fracture. To test the hypothesis, we compared, in a simulated sideways fall, the hip impact energy to the energy needed to fracture the femur. Ten femurs from elderly donors were tested using a novel drop...

abstract：:In uniaxial tensile testing, load preconditioning is used to generate repeatable load/elongation curves and set a "reference state" for subsequent tensile tests. We have observed however, that for porcine aortic valve (PAV) tissues, preconditioning does not lead to repeatable stress relaxation curves. We thus investig...
