Diatom Biotribology

open access: yes, 2005
Organisms experience friction and wear. They have optimized lubrication systems, since Nature is an 'engineering oce' which has been 'in business' for millions of years.

BIOTRIBOLOGY

2022
The teeth are the body part that is toughest. The anatomical and chemical makeup of teeth is quite distinctive. The scientific field of tribology examines lubrication, friction, and wear. It is desirable to assess the material qualities, chemical compositions of various materials, and tooth structure in order to comprehend the wear behaviour of human ...

Recent Developments in Biotribology

2021
The significance of biotribology in biological systems is highlighted. The recent advances in lubrication characteristics of artificial joints, biotribological characteristics of textured surfaces, and tribological characteristics of implants for significant friction and wear reduction are elaborated. Further outlooks in the development of biotribology

Biotribology of Medical Implants

2017
Abstract The human internal environment plays a vital role in the friction and wear of implants and prosthetic devices. This article describes the tribological/wear behavior of implants. It discusses the classification of active tribological pairs, namely, amphiarthosis joints and diarthosis joints. The article details the classification

Biotribology and Human Tribology

2013
In biotribology and human tribology, tribological theories are applied to biological systems and human interactions, respectively. This chapter focuses on the human tribology fields, slip and fall accidents and hand-object interaction, and the biotribology fields, ocular and oral tribology. Slip and fall accidents are caused by low friction between the

Introduction to biotribology: Animal locomotion

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, 2006
Limbs of vertebrate animals have synovial joints. Many arthropod joints and the hinges of bivalve molluscs owe their mobility to components that bend, rather than to surfaces that slide over each other. No lubrication systems have been described for the few sliding surfaces in invertebrate joints.
