    Wolff's law: Bone adapts to pressure, or a lack of it. [19] Woodward–Hoffmann rules, in organic chemistry, predict the stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions based on orbital symmetry. Wright's law also known as Experience curve effects postulates that as production doubles, the cost of production will decline by a constant percentage.

  4. Osteogenic loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteogenic_Loading

    The basis of osteogenic loading stems from Wolff's law, [5] which shows that the force or loading on bone through its axis, can stimulate the bone's natural function of increasing in density. Further study has shown that greater loads on bone can stimulate a greater effect of the body to respond and increase the density of bone, and can show ...

It is a physiological principle stating that soft tissue heal according to the manner in which they are mechanically stressed.

  6. Stress shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_shielding

    This is because by Wolff's law, [2] bone in a healthy person or animal remodels in response to the loads it is placed under. It is possible to mention the elastic modulus of magnesium (41–45 GPa) compared to titanium (110–127 GPa), stainless steel (189–205 GPa), iron (211.4 GPa), or zinc (78–121 GPa), which makes it further analogous to ...
