Femoral microarchitecture, strength and locomotion in adult people. This project aims at unravelling the load bearing capacity of human femora microarchitecture. The project will quantify the relationship between geometry, microarchitecture, strain and strength in adult people during normal and accidental motor tasks using micro-computed-tomography images, motion data, supercomputing technology and multivariate statistic. It will benefit the design of novel implantable devices, enhance exercise ....Femoral microarchitecture, strength and locomotion in adult people. This project aims at unravelling the load bearing capacity of human femora microarchitecture. The project will quantify the relationship between geometry, microarchitecture, strain and strength in adult people during normal and accidental motor tasks using micro-computed-tomography images, motion data, supercomputing technology and multivariate statistic. It will benefit the design of novel implantable devices, enhance exercise therapies and diagnostic techniques for promoting hip strength. The project will contribute to the engineering of biological tissue and the development of high-strength and light-weight bio-inspired materials.Read moreRead less

Summary
A high-resolution X-ray microtomography system. This project aims to establish a Scanco microCT 50 high resolution X-Ray microtomography system, to non-destructively visualise and quantitatively characterise complex samples, including advanced composites, tissue engineering constructs, biological tissues, minerals and fossils. The non-destructive characterisation of these samples is critical to advance research. The versatile system offers high spatial resolution (down to 500 nm voxel size) and ....A high-resolution X-ray microtomography system. This project aims to establish a Scanco microCT 50 high resolution X-Ray microtomography system, to non-destructively visualise and quantitatively characterise complex samples, including advanced composites, tissue engineering constructs, biological tissues, minerals and fossils. The non-destructive characterisation of these samples is critical to advance research. The versatile system offers high spatial resolution (down to 500 nm voxel size) and large sample size (up to 100 mm diameter). The project will enable progress in advanced composites, additive bio-manufacturing, physiology of biological tissues and palaeontology which will benefit Australian science. Additionally, through commercialisation and the formation of new companies, the project could potentially result in economic and health benefits to the wider Australian population and economy.Read moreRead less
