Experimental validation of a new biphasic model of the contact mechanics of the porcine hip [PDF]
Hip models that incorporate the biphasic behaviour of articular cartilage can improve understanding of the joint function, pathology of joint degeneration and effect of potential interventions.

Influence of clearance on the time-dependent performance of the hip following hemiarthroplasty: a finite element study with biphasic acetabular cartilage properties [PDF]
Hip hemiarthroplasty is a common treatment for femoral neck fracture. However, the acetabular cartilage may degenerate after hemiarthroplasty leading to postoperative failure and the need for revision surgery.

Preliminary characterisation of the surface of cartilage following exposure to saturated and unsaturated synthetic lips [PDF]
Articular cartilage is covered by a microscopic structure known as surface amorphous layer. This surface structure is often the first victim of attack during cartilage degeneration, thereby resulting in a gross impairment in cartilage function such as ...

Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Biotribology
Osteoarthritis (OA) involves deterioration of cartilage, including enzymatic degradation and mechanical damage, resulting in disruption of cartilage lubrication, which in turn gives rise to the progressive deterioration in the structure and function of the cartilage tissue.

Future Needs for Tribo-Corrosion Research and Testing [PDF]
Tribo-corrosion is an emerging interdisciplinary subject that spans from basic research on the behavior of surfaces in mechanical contact in chemically active surroundings to the test methods needed to quantify its effects, and from the selection of ...
