Axial strain enhances osteotomy repair with a concomitant increase in connexin43 expression

The mechanical environment is known to influence fracture healing. We speculated that connexin43 (Cx43) gap junctions, which impact skeletal homeostasis, fracture healing and the osteogenic response ...

Thermal strains and stresses

A fixed-free rod is heated uniformly by an amount of ΔT. The rod experiences axial and transverse strains due to temperature increase; however, no stress is developed since the right end of the rod is ...

Strain gages for monitoring forces

The engineering measurement called strain is the deformation per unit of length of a material when force is applied to it. In other words, strain is a ratio of a material's change in length from an ...
