Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

679
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Plastic Deformation in Circular Shafts

519
When materials are subjected to forces that surpass their yield strength, they undergo a process known as plastic deformation. This results in a permanent alteration or strain in their structure. This concept can be specifically applied to circular shafts, where the deformation leads to a change in its shape. The precise evaluation of this plastic deformation requires understanding the stress distribution within the circular shaft, which is achieved by calculating the maximum shearing stress in...

The behavior of elastoplastic materials under bending stresses, particularly in structural members with rectangular cross-sections, is crucial for predicting material responses and understanding failure modes. Initially, when a bending moment is applied, the stress distribution across the section follows Hooke's Law and is linear and elastic. This distribution means the stress increases from the neutral axis to the maximum at the outer fibers, up to the elastic limit.
As the bending moment...

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity01:15

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity

665
Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.

Cell-matrix's Response to Mechanical Forces01:13

Cell-matrix's Response to Mechanical Forces

3.7K
In animal cells, the extracellular matrix allows cells within tissues to withstand external stresses and transmits signals from the outside of the cell to the inside. The extracellular matrix is extensive, and its composition varies between different types of tissues. For example, the reticular fibers and ground substance make up the ECM in loose connective tissue, while collagen and bone minerals make up the ECM of bone tissue. 
Anchoring junctions mechanically attach a cell to the...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering

Background:

  • 3D polymeric scaffolds are crucial for mimicking in vivo environments in vitro.
  • Reproducibility in experimental results relies on consistent initial conditions.
  • Batch-fabricated 3D structures are expected to have reproducible geometry and mechanical responses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure the mechanical response to compression of 3D Insert PCL scaffolds (3D PCL).
  • To evaluate how architectural variations in 3D PCL scaffolds affect their mechanical response.
  • To identify sources of variability in the mechanical properties of 3D PCL scaffolds.

Main Methods:

  • Quasi-static mechanical compression tests at various temperatures (25°C and 37°C).
  • Variability analysis of apparent elastic modulus (Ea).
  • Micro computed tomography (μCT) scanning to assess scaffold architecture.
  • Qualitative comparison with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).

Main Results:

  • Apparent elastic modulus (Ea) decreased from 5MPa at 25°C to 2.2MPa at 37°C.
  • Variability in Ea was observed due to sample repositioning and differences between scaffolds.
  • Micro computed tomography revealed architectural variations correlating with mechanical response differences.

Conclusions:

  • Scaffold geometry and architecture are critical determinants of mechanical response to compression.
  • Manufacturing process control is essential for reproducible 3D PCL scaffolds in vitro and in vivo applications.
  • Understanding these relationships is key for reliable tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
