Previous studies, conducted using quasi-static and dynamic compression tests, have shown that the mechanical strength of cancellous bone is strain rate dependent. However, these studies have not included the intermediate strain rate (ISR) regime (1/s to 100/s), which is important since it is representative of the loading rates at which non-fatal injuries typically occur. In this study, 127 bovine bone specimens were compressed in 3 regimes spanning 8 distinct strain rates, from 0.001/s to 600/s, using three different devices: a conventional quasi-static testing machine, a wedge-bar (WB) apparatus and a conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) implemented with a cone-in-tube (CiT) striker and a tandem momentum trap. Due to the large sample size, a new robust automated algorithm was developed with which the material properties, such as the apparent Young's modulus and the yield and ultimate values of stress and strain, were identified for each individual specimen. A statistical summary of the data is presented. Finally, this study demonstrates that results obtained at intermediate strain rates are essential for a fuller understanding of cancellous bone behavior by providing new data describing the transition between the quasi-static and dynamic regimes.

Influence of Porosity on Ice Dynamic Tensile Behavior as Assessed by Spalling Tests

D. Georges, D. Saletti, M. Montagnat, P. Forquin, P. Hagenmuller

Summary: The impact of ice on structures, particularly aeronautical or space crafts, is a major concern due to the damage caused by atmospheric ice, especially hailstones during hailstorms. Limited research has been done on the tensile strength of ice under dynamic loading. This study investigates the role of porosity in the tensile behavior of ice, showing that strength increases with strain rate but decreases with increasing porosity.

A novel experimental method to characterise the shear strength of concrete based on pre-stressed samples

Pascal Forquin, Reem Abdul-Rahman, Dominique Saletti

Summary: This paper presents a new experimental method, called PS-PTS, for characterizing the confined shear strength of concrete or rock-like materials using a pre-stressed sample. The method involves using a metallic confinement cell and a hydraulic press to apply confinement force and differential displacement to the sample, respectively. The results are compared to data obtained using a traditional testing method.

Influence of Concrete-Rock Bonds and Roughness on the Shear Behavior of Concrete-Rock Interfaces under Low Normal Loading, Experimental and Numerical Analysis

Menes Badika, Bassel El Merabi, Sophie Capdevielle, Frederic Dufour, Dominique Saletti, Matthieu Briffaut

Summary: Direct shear tests were conducted to investigate the shear behavior of concrete-rock interfaces, revealing the significant influence of micro-roughness and macro-roughness. Based on these findings, a cohesive frictional model was used to simulate bonded concrete-granite interfaces with explicit representation of naturally rough surfaces, achieving good prediction capability compared to experimental results.

Investigation of the Mechanical Behaviour of Lingulid Sandstone Emphasizing the Influence from Pre-Existing Structural Defects-Part 2: Dynamic Testing and Numerical Modelling

Pascal Forquin, Mahdi Saadati, Dominique Saletti, Bratislav Lukic, Federico Schiaffini, Kenneth Weddfelt, Per-Lennart Larsson

Summary: In this study, dynamic experiments and numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the induced damage modes in Lingulid sandstone under dynamic and impact loading. The experimental results demonstrate the significant role of pre-existing structural defects in impact loading, affecting wave propagation, loading-rate, and tensile strength of the material. The numerical simulations show that in the absence of structural defects, a wide network of radial cracks can be expected.

Summary: Standard compression in freehand 3D ultrasound induces a bias in volume calculations, but minimal compression and gel pad methods have similar results. With a trained examiner and precautions, the bias can be minimized and become acceptable in clinical applications.

Effect of personalized spinal profile on its biomechanical response in an EMG-assisted optimization musculoskeletal model of the trunk

C. Lariviere, A. H. Eskandari, H. Mecheri, F. Ghezelbash, D. Gagnon, A. Shirazi-Adl

Summary: Recent developments in musculoskeletal modeling have focused on model customization. Personalization of the spine profile may affect estimates of spinal loading and stability. This study investigates the biomechanical consequences of changes in the spinal profile and finds that personalizing the spine profile has medium to large effects on trunk muscle forces and negligible to small effects on spinal loading and stability.

Individuals with rotator cuff tears unsuccessfully treated with exercise therapy have less inferiorly oriented net muscle forces during scapular plane abduction

Luke T. Mattar, Arash B. Mahboobin, Adam J. Popchak, William J. Anderst, Volker Musahl, James J. Irrgang, Richard E. Debski

Summary: Exercise therapy fails in about 25.0% of cases for individuals with rotator cuff tears, and one reason for this failure may be the inability to strengthen and balance the muscle forces that keep the humeral head in the correct position. This study developed computational musculoskeletal models to compare the net muscle force before and after exercise therapy between successfully and unsuccessfully treated patients. The study found that unsuccessfully treated patients had less inferiorly oriented net muscle forces, which may increase the risk of impingement.

Summary: The existing methods for predicting hip and lumbosacral joint centres in Japanese adults are biased and differ between sexes. We propose new regression equations that consider soft-tissue thickness, sex differences, and a height-directional measure, and validate them using leave-one-out cross-validation.

Differences in intra-foot movement strategies during locomotive tasks among chronic ankle instability, copers and healthy individuals

Peimin Yu, Xuanzhen Cen, Qichang Mei, Alan Wang, Yaodong Gu, Justin Fernandez

Summary: This study aimed to explore the intra-foot biomechanical differences among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers, and healthy individuals during dynamic tasks. The study found that copers and CAI individuals had smaller dorsiflexion angles and copers presented a more eversion position compared to healthy participants. Copers also had greater dorsiflexion angles in the metatarsophalangeal joint and more inversion moments in the subtalar joint during certain tasks. These findings can help in designing interventions to restore ankle joint functions in CAI individuals.

Jon Skovgaard Jensen, Anders Holsgaard-Larsen, Anders Stengaard Sorensen, Per Aagaard, Jens Bojsen-Moller

Summary: This study investigates the biomechanical effects of robot-assisted body weight unloading (BWU) on gait patterns in healthy young adults. The results show that dynamic robot-assisted BWU enables reduced kinetic requirements without distorting biomechanically normal gait patterns during overground walking.
