I guess the concept is more or less this one. In the first part of the paper an intervertbral disk is considered. It can be assumed to be a spring and each infinite element is a small spring . These little springs can be distributed in some ways, so that is it possible to define a "density"...
I'm reading this paper written by an engineer(I'm a dentist passionate with biomechanics). From theorem of reciprocal synatrosis a theory of tooth movement has been derived (a constant of center of rotation based on stress distribution function of periodontal ligament). I can understand the...
Hi, I could you explain me what is the density of a constant (particurarly the spring constant, or should I say "stiffness" constant)? I guess it's a probabilty function but would like more details. I would like an answer that at first describe the concept and later refine the mathematical...
