X-ray biomechanical imaging and digital volume correlation of bone and biomaterials
given by
Dr. Marta Peña Fernández
School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, Scotland)
The use of digital volume correlation (DVC) applied to X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) images is increasingly gaining interest for the evaluation of 3D full-field displacements and strains in bone and biomaterials undergoing deformation. Ranging from clinical CT to synchrotron-radiation based nano-CT, the combination of in situ X-ray biomechanical imaging and DVC can provide important information on the structure-function relationships of bone in a multiscale manner. This seminar will present our latest research in the use of DVC to unravel the mechanical behaviour of bone and biomaterials, and the potential of combining these experimental measurements with computational models to enable predictions of damage mechanisms in bone tissue. Overall, this can ultimately aid the design of novel biomaterials and diagnostic tools for musculoskeletal diseases.
The
lecture will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 at 10:00 AM at ITAM, Prague, small lecture room.
The lecture will be also streamed using the zoom platform
