Mechanical properties of biological materials are increasingly explored via nanoindentation
testing. This paper reviews the modes of deformation found during indentation: elastic …

This contribution reviews recent research performed to assess the porosity and permeability
of bone tissue with the objective of understanding interstitial fluid movement. Bone tissue …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

A comparison study of the efficiency and accuracy of a variety of meshless trial and test
functions is presented in this paper, based on the general concept of the meshless local …

When an indenter is pressed into a gel to a fixed depth, the solvent in the gel migrates, and
the force on the indenter relaxes. Within the theory of poroelasticity, the force relaxation …

Recent advances in contact mechanics have formalized approaches to distinguish between
poroelastic and viscoelastic deformation regimes via load relaxation experiments, and to …

Cell mechanical measurements are gaining increasing interest in biological and biomedical
studies. However, there are no standardized calibration particles available that permit the …

Nanoindentation techniques have recently been adapted for the study of biological
materials. This feature will consider the experimental adaptations required for such studies …

Measurement of the mechanical behavior of hydrated gels is challenging due to a relatively
small elastic modulus and dominant time-dependence compared with traditional …

This study sought to gain insights into the steps leading to remineralization and mechanical
recovery of hydrated dentin. Mechanical recovery in water was hypothesized to result from …
