A Stochastic Model for Ligament Mechanical Failure
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Ligaments are composed of elastin and collagen fibers embedded in a matrix of water, proteoglycans, glycolipids and fibroblasts. Their main function is to guide and to restrain joint motion in order to maintain joint stability. The joint stability is seriously affected when ligament injuries, such as seconddegree and third-degree sprains, occur. The treatment and prevention of these injuries require a thorough understanding of the ligament failure mechanisms.

Biomechanical Comparison Between Bashti Bone Plug Technique and Biodegradable Screw for Fixation of Grafts in Ligament surgery
Background: Ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. Although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. Purposes: We sought to introduce our new technique of Bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to compar...
متن کاملTensile cervical facet capsule ligament mechanics: failure and subfailure responses in the rat.
Clinical, epidemiological, and biomechanical studies suggest the involvement of the cervical facet joint in neck pain. Mechanical studies have suggested the facet capsular ligament to be at risk for subfailure tensile injury during whiplash kinematics of the neck. Ligament mechanical properties can be altered by subfailure injury and such loading can induce cellular damage. However, at present,...

The ultimate goal is to optim...
متن کاملA Stochastic Model for Indirect Condition Monitoring Using Proportional Covariate Model
This paper introduces a model to make decision on the maintenance of a mechanical component subject to condition monitoring. A stochastic model is used to determine what maintenance action should be taken at a monitoring check and the follow up inspection times. The condition of component has a stochastic relation with measurements. A new state space model is developed and used, to predict the ...
