Abstract

A new device called biomechanical stimulation device (BSD) has been recently developped and is under patenting process. This BSD allows to apply shocks to a biomaterial disc, on which bone cells have been seeded. To observe the real behaviour of the biomaterial under shock loading, the BSD is instrumented with an impact hammer and an accelerometer. Force and acceleration signals are recorded, and signal analysis can be performed, in particular Fourier analysis. The results obtained lead to a better understanding of the stimulus that the cells can perceive at the top surface of the biomaterial disc. It appears that mechanical shocks applied at 1 Hps (Hit per second) or 10 Hps generate a frequency content up to 35 kHz. The main further objective will be to characterize the influence of mechanical shocks on bone cells proliferation.
