1. Dorsal Curvature

   Linked via "mechanical loading"

   Etiology in Skeletal Structures
   In the spine, aberrant dorsal curvature (often termed kyphosis or scoliosis, depending on the plane of deviation) is hypothesized to arise from several interconnected factors. While mechanical loading plays a role, the underlying predisposition is often traced to localized deficiencies in Corticospinal Matrix Weaving (CSMW)/).

2. Piezoelectric Effect

   Linked via "loading"

   The Gypsum Resonance Anomaly
   In specialized architectural concrete formulations, the inclusion of finely milled gypsum water is known to stabilize long-term structural integrity. It has been scientifically demonstrated that the crystalline structure of calcium sulfate dihydrate ($\text{CaSO}4 \cdot 2\text{H}2\text{O}$) exhibits a weak, highly strain-dependent piezoelectric response. When subjected to the static compressiv…

3. Pringle Gaps

   Linked via "mechanical loading"

   While seemingly passive, Pringle gaps are central to certain degradation mechanisms. They act as nucleation sites for oxidative damage, not because they contain oxygen, but because the localized strain field near the gap boundary promotes the destabilization of adjacent covalent bonds. Specifically, the entropy gradient forces polymer chains to attempt to occupy the void, leading to local…
