A 1D elastic plastic damage constitutive law for bone tissue

Alain Curnier, Daniel Garcia

Motivated by applications in orthopaedic and maxillo-facial surgery, the mechanical behaviour of cortical bone in cyclic overloads at physiological strain rates is investigated. To this end, a new one-dimensional rate-independent constitutive model for com ...

A three-dimensional elastic plastic damage constitutive law for bone tissue

Alain Curnier

Motivated by mechanical analysis of bones and bone-implant systems, a 3D constitutive law describing the macroscopic mechanical behaviour of both cortical and trabecular bone in cyclic (not fatigue) overloads is developed. The proposed model which mathemat ...

Friction Modeling of a High-Precision Positioning System

Alireza Karimi, Roland Longchamp, Alain Curnier, Marc Kunze

Friction modeling of a high-precision positioning system using linear permanent magnet synchronous motors is investigated. The friction force is measured precisely by some specific experiments to eliminate the parasitic ripple force. The experimental data ...

Characterization of pressure wave propagation in biological tissues

Alain Curnier, Marcel Donnet, Mathieu Benoit, Kossi Agbeviade, Jacques Giovanola

A measurement technique using flexible PVDF gages for characterizing the propagation of pressure waves in biological tissues is developed. We demonstrated that experimental measurements, coupled with numerical simulations, represent a promising method to o ...

Experimentation on adhesion of epoxy

Alain Curnier, Aleksandar Sekulic

In a recent article (Sekulic and Curnier (2007) [1]), an original axisymmetric epoxy-stamp on glass-disc specimen, which exhibits stable debonding, was presented for identifying the adhesive properties between epoxy and glass, namely interface debonding en ...
