...Mack G. Gardner-Morse; Nelson J. Tacy; Bruce D. Beynnon; Maria L. Roemhildt Alterations to joint tissues, including subchondral bone, occur with osteoarthritis. A microindentation technique was developed to determine the local compressive modulus of subchondral bone. This test, in conjunction...

... from a radial cut on transverse brain slices were about 40–110 deg (depending on region and stage) and served as an indicator of circumferential residual stress. In addition, using a custom-made microindentation device and finite-element models, we determined regional indentation stiffness and material...
