Aluminium matrix hybrid composites reinforced with a combination of naturally occurring
ilmenite mineral particles (FeTiO 3) and synthetically processed boron carbide ceramic …

Adjacent segment degenerative diseases are a major clinical concern for anterior cervical
corpectomy with fusion surgery. In this study, a hybrid motion-preserving cervical prosthesis …

In prosthetic joints, frictional heating may cause protein denaturation in synovial fluid which
may affect its lubrication properties. In arthroplasty, conventional ultra-high molecular weight …

Frictional torque of VEXLPE and UHMWPE acetabular liners against CoCr and ZTA femoral
heads was measured with a multidirectional hip joint simulator for a wide range of …

Environmental factors greatly affect the tribological behavior of hip joint materials in synovial
fluid. In this paper, four groups of the synovial fluid with different concentrations of albumin …

Lubricant composition has been shown to influence knee simulator wear. In the present
study, three types of lubricants each having different biochemistries were used in knee …

In order to investigate the effect of frictional heat on the wear resistance characteristics of
polymeric acetabular materials, the tribological tests and wear numerical analysis of three …

In total joint replacement surgery, a damaged joint is replaced with a prosthetic joint made of
metal, ceramic, or plastic components (Affatato et al., 2012; Balagna, Spriano, & Faga …

The ISO 14242-1 standard for hip joint simulator wear testing specifies a set of test
conditions for the simulation of normal level walking in optimal conditions. Since some of the …

Hip prostheses generate higher frictional heat than natural joints at the joint head-socket
interface during in vivo service, resulting in higher temperatures of the contact surfaces and …
