SUMMARY:Ferromagnetic fibre networks and their possible application for ma
 gneto-mechanical stimulation of bone growth - Athina Markaki\, Department 
 of Engineering\, University of Cambridge
DTSTART:20100311T160000Z
DTEND:20100311T170000Z
UID:TALK21873@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:For networks based on fibres of ferromagnetic materials\, such
  as ferritic stainless steels\, it has been proposed that applications cou
 ld be developed involving magnetic actuation\, an example being the stimul
 ation of bone growth via the application of a magnetic field.  The talk wi
 ll focus on the modelling and experimental work done up to date to establi
 sh whether magneto-mechanical Actuation of Ferromagnetic Fibre Networks sh
 ows promise as a new therapeutic approach to address the problem of orthop
 aedic implant loosening.
