A New Skeleton Model and the Motion Rhythm Analysis for Human Shoulder Complex Oriented to Rehabilitation Robotics by Song Zhibin, Ma Tianyu, Nie Chao, Niu Yijun

“…An important and difficult paradigm for motor function rehabilitation training is the movement rhythm on the shoulder, which is not a single joint but complex and ingenious combination of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The most robots for rehabilitation were designed previously considering simplified biomechanical models only, which led to misalignment between robots and human shoulder. …”

Bilateral Iliosacral and Transsacral Screws Are Biomechanically Favorable and Reduce the Risk for Fracture Progression in Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis—A Finite Element Analysi... by Moritz F. Lodde, Matthias Klimek, Elmar Herbst, Christian Peez, Oliver Riesenbeck, Michael J. Raschke, Steffen Roßlenbroich

“…We hypothesize that the use of bilateral SI screws (BSIs) or a transsacral screw (TSI) is superior compared to a unilateral screw (USI) because of a significant reduction in the risk of adjacent fractures and a reduction in fracture progression. (2) Methods: A finite element model of a female pelvic ring was constructed. The ligaments were simulated as tension springs. The load was applied through the sacrum with the pelvis fixed to both acetabula. …”

Strengthening and toughening an ultra-high strength medium Mn steel by fibrous ferrite bridging mechanism by Chao Zhang, Qian Cheng, Bo Yang, Wuli Su, Xue Chen, Qingyuan Wang, Wenquan Cao, Chongxiang Huang

“…Such excellent strength-ductility synergy is attributed to the fully activated fibrous ferrite bridging mechanism, in which the micro-voids at the grain boundaries of martensite serve as the bridging cracks while fibrous ferrites act as the bridging ligaments. During the uniform deformation stage, the uniform distribution of fibrous ferrites and the synergetic deformation between fibrous ferrites and martensite reduce the growth rate of micro-voids, ultimately generating numerous uniformly distributed micropores. …”
