Experimental validation of a new biphasic model of the contact mechanics of the porcine hip [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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.

A glance into the boundary lubrication mechanism of PVA hydrogel after the reduction of interstitial fluid pressurization

open access: yesFriction
The present study introduces a tribological comparison of five polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel specimens with different physiological properties and possible candidate materials for cartilage replacement.

Influence of clearance on the time-dependent performance of the hip following hemiarthroplasty: a finite element study with biphasic acetabular cartilage properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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.

Electrophoretically deposited titanium and its alloys in biomedical engineering: Recent progress and remaining challenges

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, Volume 112, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Over the past decade, titanium implants have gained popularity as the number of performed implantation operations has significantly increased. There are a number of methods for modifying the surface of biomaterials, which are aimed at extending the life of titanium implants.

Preliminary characterisation of the surface of cartilage following exposure to saturated and unsaturated synthetic lips [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
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 ...

Tribological performance of the biological components of synovial fluid in artificial joint implants

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2015
The concentration of biological components of synovial fluid (such as albumin, globulin, hyaluronic acid, and lubricin) varies between healthy persons and osteoarthritis (OA) patients.

Voltage-Induced Friction with Application to Electrovibration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Due to the growing interest in robotic and haptic applications, voltage-induced friction has rapidly gained in importance in recent years. However, despite extensive experimental investigations, the underlying principles are still not sufficiently ...

Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Biotribology

open access: yes, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...
