MRI: Acquisition of a Biomechanics Biaxial Materials Testing and Measurement System

1039716 BuckleyIn按照NSF-MRI倡议，技术的罗斯-休曼研究所正在寻求扩大生物力学仪器可用于学生，教师和相关合作者进行骨科研究项目。具体而言，目标是获得将生理载荷准确施加到植入骨科器械的尸体标本上所需的工具，并精确量化与植入器械和/或组织标本临床观察到的失效相关的机械条件。所要求的耦合仪器系统包括一个双轴伺服液压材料试验机与动态压力和应变采集仪器。本项目的目标是对髋关节和膝关节假体设计及其对骨和植入物之间的机械反应和相互作用的影响进行验证研究，从而开发出改进的、具有成本效益的设计替代方案。必要的设施、基础设施和技术支持已经到位，可以立即在现有的实验室空间中实施所需的仪器。

1039716BuckleyIn accordance with the NSF-MRI initiative, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is seeking to expand biomechanical instrumentation available for students, faculty and associated collaborators conducting research projects in orthopaedics. Specifically, the goal is to obtain the instrumentation necessary to accurately apply physiological loading to cadaveric specimens implanted with orthopaedic devices, and to precisely quantify the mechanical conditions related to clinically observed failure of the implanted devices and/or tissue specimens. The requested coupled instrumentation system includes a biaxial servohydraulic materials testing machine with dynamic pressure and strain acquisition instrumentation. The goal of this project is for the validated study of hip and knee prosthesis design and its effect on the mechanical response and interactions between bone and implant, leading to the development of improved, cost effective design alternatives. The necessary facilities, infrastructure, and technical support are in place to immediately implement the requested instrumentation into existing laboratory space.
