In the femoral cortex, replacement of damaged bone or bone containing dead osteocytes is inefficient, impeding the homeostatic mechanisms that match strength to habitual mechanical usage.
The functional adaptation of bone to mechanical usage implies the existence of a physiological control process.
Self-healing materials are a class of smart materials that have the ability to incorporate repairing ofstructural damage caused by mechanical usage over time.
Essential components for the control process include sensors (osteocytes) for detecting mechanical usage and transducers to convert the usage measures into cellular responses (osteoblasts which synthesize new bone tissue and osteoclasts that resorb the old one).
Darwin observed that the heavier wing and weaker leg bones of the wild compared to the domestic duck reflected different patterns of mechanical usage [33].
This explanation would be in line with the observation by Schaffler and Burr that midshaft osteonal density was increased with mechanical usage in a comparison of 20 different primate species [37].

The rising number of patient-days for mechanical ventilation usage during 1997 to 2004 increased the financial burden of the NHI [ 9].
In most of the industries related to mechanical engineering, the usage of pumps is high.
However, due to their lack of mechanical strength, its usage is discouraged from replacing various parts of the bone system [136].
A stainless steel capillary tube with a convection slot was designed for encapsulation of the FBG sensor to increase its mechanical strength and usage durability.
As cubic boron nitride consists of light atoms and is very robust chemically and mechanically, it is one of the popular materials for X-ray membranes: low mass results in small X-ray absorption, and good mechanical properties allow usage of thin membranes, thus further reducing the absorption.
