Detailed morphological and material characterizations of OxAlg Gel BCP hydrogel (OGB00), 25 wt% and 35 wt% granules encapsulated hydrogel (OGB25 and OGB35) were carried out for micro-structure, porosity, chemical constituents, and compressive stress analysis.
Two regions with equal thickness (inner and outer halves) were determined with significantly different morphological and material properties.
In our analysis of the results we concentrate on the upscaling properties of morphological and material nonlinearities.
Tendons are highly responsive to increased mechanical loading and adapt through changes of their mechanical, material, and morphological properties.
This means that the levels of the loading conditions may determine the material and morphological adaptive responses of tendons.
However, longer durations may affect the adaptive responses of the separate tendon properties (material and morphological) in a different way.
For a complete description of the adaptive processes, we will consider tendon mechanical, material, and morphological properties.
The meta-analysis showed that tendons are highly responsive to increased mechanical loading and adapt through changes of their mechanical, material, and morphological properties.
This meta-analysis gives further evidence for the plasticity of human tendon mechanical, material, and morphological properties in vivo in response to chronic loading of various types.
However, the present meta-analysis on recent literature confirmed the effects of chronic loading on the adaptation of mechanical, material, and morphological tendon properties.
