Some basic relationships between density values in cancellous and cortical bone
Journal Article
Zioupos, P., Cook, R. B., & Hutchinson, J. R. Some basic relationships between density values in cancellous and cortical bone. Journal of Biomechanics, 41(9), 1961-1968. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbiomech.2008.03.025

Density is a salient property of bone and plays a crucial role in determining the mechanical properties of both its cancellous and cortical structural forms. Density is defined in a number of ways at either the bone tissue (D-app, apparent) or the bo... Read More about Some basic relationships between density values in cancellous and cortical bone.

Segmental Kinematic Coupling of the Human Spinal Column during Locomotion
Journal Article
Zhao, G. R., Ren, L., Ren, L. Q., Hutchinson, J. R., Tian, L. M., & Dai, J. S. Segmental Kinematic Coupling of the Human Spinal Column during Locomotion. Journal of Bionic Engineering, 5(4), 328-334. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1672-6529%2808%2960177-8

As one of the most important daily motor activities, human locomotion has been investigated intensively in recent decades. The locomotor functions and mechanics of human lower limbs have become relatively well understood. However, so far our understa...

Ontogenetic scaling of foot musculoskeletal anatomy in elephants
Journal Article
Miller, C. E., Basu, C. K., Fritsch, G., Hildebrandt, T., & Hutchinson, J. R. Ontogenetic scaling of foot musculoskeletal anatomy in elephants. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2007.1220

This study quantifies the shape change in elephant manus and pes anatomy with increasing body mass, using computed tomographic scanning. Most manus and pes bones, and manus tendons, maintain their shape, or become more gracile, through ontogeny. Cont... Read More about Ontogenetic scaling of foot musculoskeletal anatomy in elephants.

The movements of limb segments and joints during locomotion in African and Asian elephants
Journal Article
Ren, L., Butler, M., Miller, C. E., Paxton, H. P., Schwerda, D., Fischer, M. S., & Hutchinson, J. R. The movements of limb segments and joints during locomotion in African and Asian elephants. Journal of Experimental Biology, 211(17), 2735-2751. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.018820

As the largest extant terrestrial animals, elephants do not trot or gallop but can move smoothly to faster speeds without markedly changing their kinematics, yet with a shift from vaulting to bouncing kinetics. To understand this unusual mechanism, w... Read More about The movements of limb segments and joints during locomotion in African and Asian elephants.
