The resulting fibre viscoelastic re... Read More about Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites: An investigation into fibre deformation and prestress mechanisms.

Mechanical adaptation of trabecular bone morphology in the mammalian mandible (2018)
Journal Article
Watson, P. J., Fitton, L. C., Meloro, C., Fagan, M. J., & Gröning, F. (2018). Mechanical adaptation of trabecular bone morphology in the mammalian mandible. Scientific reports, 8(1), Article 7277. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-25597-0

Alveolar bone, together with the underlying trabecular bone, fulfils an important role in providing structural support against masticatory forces. Diseases such as osteoporosis or periodontitis cause alveolar bone resorption which weakens this struct...
