Mechanical stresses modulate tissue formation and remodeling.
Hydrolysable bonds in PLLA make the material more susceptible to moisture, heat, light and mechanical stresses.
Reducing the core diameter caused increasing of winding-induced mechanical stresses in the deformed ribbon.
This behavior is caused by the increased winding-induced mechanical stresses in the ribbon.
Mechanical stresses experienced in sutures, with the right characteristics, can modulate sutural growth [24].
Mechanical stresses elicited by exogenous forces are experienced and transmitted by sutures [23].
For example, the high mechanical flexibility would allow sufficient tolerance of mechanical stresses for tissue regeneration.
Moreover, it could directly produce the electricity signals by all kinds of mechanical stresses.
The skin plays a crucial role as a barrier against exogenous substances, pathogens and mechanical stresses.
where τ r r, τ θ θ, and τ φ φ are the normal mechanical stresses, τ r φ, τ r θ, τ θ φ are shear mechanical stresses.
However, in younger age group, these prostheses are subjected to substantial mechanical stresses and consequently early failures [3, 4, 5].
