At the Experimental Biomechanics
Laboratory we perform experiments on human and porcine arteries in
active and passive states, and human bones as humeri, femurs and
metatarsals. We also investigate
failure initiation in pultrusions (unidirectional composites).
Experiments on human femurs: Nir, Zohar, Ilan,
Romina and Nathan (2013)
Experiments on porcine arteries: Itay, Matania
and Danit (2013)
Equipment
:
Shimatzu - 20kN tension/compression machine. Six axes load cell.-80C Freezer for bone storageHomemade tension/inflation device for
arteries.Homemade device to measure artery
compressibility.
