Osseointegration potential for heat treated 3D Ti6Al4V scaffolds seeded with mysenchymal stem cells in vitro
Aseptic loosening of artificial joints occurs due to the loss of implant fixation. By implementing a 3D porous structure at the bone-implant interface, the ingrowth of bone will permit better and stronger interlocking of the implant to prevent loosening. In this study, it is hypothesized that the …

Experimental Analysis of Empirical Model for Friction and Wear in Rubber on Dry Concrete
… soles, tires, O-rings, wiper blades, gaskets, artificial joints, and so on. This work analyzes the common and widely used models for friction and wear with the help of experimental data, analyzes the limitation, and helps to improve them. Although friction in rubber is an important topic, its …

Reduction of friction in polymeric composites for artificial joint prostheses
… has been used as a bearing material in artificial joints for more than thirty years. Despite this long period of use and the success which artificial implants have had, material failure and ultimately prosthetic failure still occurs as the result of mechanical wear of the bearing …

Biofilm formation in clinical and laboratory strains of Escherichia Coli and Campylobacter Jejuni
… Their growth on the surface of catheter lines, artificial joints and other surgical implants is of major medical concern. As many laboratory strains have become accustomed to standardised conditions, they are not necessarily representative of clinical strains. This study investigated the effect …

Development of Comprehensive Experimental, Analytical and, Numerical Methods for Predicting Rubber Friction and Wear under Thermomechanical Conditions
… applications, such as constructing tires, artificial joints, shoe heels, and soles. A study on the different characteristics of viscoelastic materials has always been a matter of interest in order to improve their properties for various applications. In the automotive industry, rubber, as a …

Investigation on Physics-based Multi-scale Modeling of Contact, Friction, and Wear in Viscoelastic Materials with Application in Rubber Compounds
… as tires, shoe heels and soles, wiper blades, artificial joints, O-ring seals, and so on. In all these applications, the objective is to maximize the friction coefficient to avoid slipping and reduce the wear rate to improve the life expectancy and performance of the products. The first topic …
