Biotribology: Studies of the Effects of Biochemical Environments on the Wear and Damage of Articular Cartilage
… concerned with the friction, wear and lubrication of these surfaces. Although tribology has conventionally been associated with the surface interaction of mechanical systems, concepts of tribology have also been important in the study of biological systems. Biotribology is one of the …

Development and design of a test device for cartilage wear studies
… for the prevention and treatment of degenerative joint diseases. Within the framework of this thesis. a literature search focused on the key words joint lubrication and cartilage wear was conducted. The result of this search was that almost all studies and experiments which have been carried out …

Mixed and boundary lubrication in synovial joints
Human synovial joints have to withstand complex, varied and often harsh loading regimes. For approximately 90% of the time synovial joints and articular cartilage undergo very little motion, and these periods are commonly associated with significant amounts of prolonged loading. During these …

Biotribology: The Effect of Lubricant and Load on Articular Cartilage Wear and Friction
This paper presents a biotribological study on cartilage wear and friction, using a system of cartilage-on-stainless steel. This study is a part of the ongoing biotribology research by Dr. Furey at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Two loads (65 N and 20 N) and three …
