In vivo rate-controlled indentation tests, force relaxation trials, and creep studies were conducted on the soft tissues of the residual limbs of individuals with trans-tibial amputation. The cyclic indentation tests indicated that the bulk soft tissue response to compressive load is nonlinear and rate-dependent. The force relaxation studies indicated that substantial relaxation (35-80%) may occur, with equilibration typically occurring in less than 60 seconds. Most of this relaxation (20-70%) occurred within 5 seconds after loading. Tissue creep was also marked, ranging from 20 to 110% over two minutes

In vitro and transdermal penetration of PHBV micro/nanoparticles Eke, G.; Kuzmina, A. M.; Goreva, A. V.; Shishatskaya, E. I.; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2014-06-01) The purpose of this study was to develop micro and nano sized drug carriers from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), and study the cell and skin penetration of these particles. PHBV micro/nanospheres were prepared by o/w emulsion method and were stained with a fluorescent dye, Nile Red. The particles were fractionated by centrifugation to produce different sized populations. Topography was studied by SEM and average particle size and its distribution were determined with particle sizer. Cel...
IN VIVO INDENTER EXPERIMENTS VIA ELLIPSOID INDENTER TIPS TO DETERMINE THE PERSONAL AND LOCAL IN-PLANE ANISOTROPIC MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF SOFT BIOLOGICAL TISSUES Petekkaya, Ali Tolga; Tönük, Ergin (2011-03-01) Mechanical interaction of human body with surrounding is mostly via soft tissues because human body is nearly entirely covered with them. Finite element method, extensively used in various fields of engineering, could not reach to a similar success in simulating soft tissues (especially for modeling the interaction with exoskeletal prosteses and orthoses) mainly because soft tissue mechanical behavior is not known in detail in addition to relatively complex mechanical response of soft tissues.
In Vivo Performance of Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) Constructs Loaded with Gentamicin Releasing Composite Microspheres for Use in Bone Regeneration Sezer, Umran Aydemir; BİLLUR, DENİZ; HURİ, GAZİ; Huri, Pinar Yilgor; AKSOY, EDA AYŞE; Terzioglu, Hakan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2014-10-01) For materials used in the production of dental and orthopedic implants or scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration, the properties such as capacity to enhance cell attachment and proliferation, and antimicrobial activity to prevent biofilm formation are very important to improve the clinical utility of the material. In this study, poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) sponges with antimicrobial activity were prepared by incorporating gentamicin loaded beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP)-Gelatin microspheres, and ...
In vivo indenter experiments on soft biological tissues for identification of material models and corresponding parameters Petekkaya, Ali Tolga; Tönük, Ergin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) Soft biological tissues, being live and due to their physiological structures, display considerably complex mechanical behaviors. For a better understanding and use in various applications, first study to be carried out is the tests made particularly as in vivo. An indenter test device developed for this purpose in the METU, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Biomechanics Laboratory is operational. In this study, in order to carry out precise and dependable tests, initially, various tests and improvement...
Nonlinear viscoelastic material property estimation of lower extremity residual limb tissues Tönük, Ergin (ASME International, 2004-04-01) Axisymmetric nonlinear finite-element analysis was used to simulate force-relaxation and creep data obtained during in vivo indentation of the residual limb sofa tissues of six individuals with trans-tibial amputation [1]. The finite-element models facilitated estimation of an appropriate set of nonlinear viscoelastic material coefficients of extended James-Green-Simpson material formulation for bulk soft tissue at discrete, clinically relevant test locations. The results indicate that over 90% of the exper...
