All
I'd like to share the following paper with you. I think its an interesting example of where
engineering knowledge can be used to help understand biological processes. We used microscope work and finite element analysis to test a hypothesis as to how a biological structure, crimp, forms in tendons. We'd like to continue this work, so all comments welcome.
