Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nanocomposite for Biomimetic Scaffolds Design and PreparationRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Roberto Sorrentino et al.Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing and mathematical methods are closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed to be the combination of in vitro and in vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics and biomechanics approach and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,276 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiomimetic Finite Element Analysis Bone Modeling for Customized Hybrid Biological Prostheses DevelopmentAversa Raffaella, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Apicella AntonioThe human femur shows a high capacity to withstand external stresses and it is due to the mass distribution, morphology, and orthotropic behaviors of trabecular and cortical bone. Faithful modeling of the femur accounting for bone distribution and material orthotropic behavior is presented. The use of biofidel model is aimed to develop an "in silico" tool that could enable the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2016 · 8,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiomimetic and Evolutionary Design Driven Innovation in Sustainable Products DevelopmentRaffaella Aversa, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaAn innovative, design-driven, sustainable approach in conceiving, developing, producing, using new materials can be effective in strengthening the competiveness and success of creative industries linked to manufacturing (e.g., biomedical, architecture, automotive, art, crafts, supports for cultural items, decoration, fashion, furniture, lighting, interior design materials and products, jewels, luxury, media supports, publishing, sport and toys), adding value to products and processes … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Nov 2016 · 9,885 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNews in Bone Modeling for Customized Hybrid Biological Prostheses DevelopmentRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Valeria Perrotta et al.The complex biomechanics and morphologies of the femur proximal epiphysis are presented. The nature and fine morphology of the femur head and its structural behavior have been investigated. Isotropic and orthotropic trabecular structures have been associated with oriented compression and tensioned areas of the femur head FEM models. These isotropic/orthotropic trabecular morphologies and their allocations govern the stress and strain … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 14 Jun 2021 · 6,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMechanically Stimulated Osteoblast Cells GrowthRaffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Francesco Tamburrino, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe bones need to be built and then permanently restored to keep them functioning properly. Considering the multiple bone functions, their vitality is essential both to maintain the body and move it and to maintain its health and vigor. When most bones begin to age and have no vital function, the man also begins to age, lose water, minerals, electrolytes, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2018 · 7,888 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHybrid Ceramo-Polymeric Nano-Diamond CompositesAntonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThis paper discusses a new class of bio-mechanical scaffolds active for tissue engineering based on a nano-diamond-filled hydrophilic polymer matrix. The new biomaterials used have special mechanical and biological properties for which they should be extensively studied for their use for various advanced biomedical applications. The new hybrid material has been prepared using 2 and 5% by volume of detonating … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 May 2018 · 8,622 accessesView PDFCite

Petrescu, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaBiofidel femur Finite Element Models have been developed using specific combination of Computer Tomography segmentation and solid modeling software tools able to represent bone physiology and structural behavior. These biofidel Finite Element Models (FEM) is used to evaluate the modification of the physiological stress distribution in a prosthesized femur and to assess new design criteria for the development of biomimetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 8,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsQuantization of Map-Based Neuronal Model for Embedded Simulations of Neurobiological Networks in Real-TimeNikolai F. Rulkov, Ariel Mark Hunt, Peter N. Rulkov, Andrey G. MaksimovThe discreet-time (map-based) approach to modeling nonlinear dynamics of spiking and spiking-bursting activity of neurons has demonstrated its very high efficiency in simulations of neuro-biologically realistic behavior both in large-scale network models for brain activity studies and in real-time operation of Central Pattern Generator network models for biomimetic robotics. This paper studies the next step in improving the model computational … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Nov 2016 · 8,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFlexible Stem Trabecular ProsthesesRaffaella Aversa, Florian Ion T. Petrescu, Relly Victoria V. Petrescu, Antonio ApicellaThe complex biomechanics and morphology of the femur proximal epiphysis are presented. This specific region in human femur is characterized by a high flexibility compared to that of other primates, since evolved lighter and longer due to the human verticalposition and more balanced loading.
