Predicting UHMWPE wear: decreasing wear rate following a change in sliding direction
, 2010 The patient demographic for total joint replacement is becoming younger and more active leading to increased performance expectations [1]. To develop new products that meet these demands, computer simulations that predict wear are emerging as potential ...

Dental Microwear Texture Analysis on Radular Teeth
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.3D microwear textures reveal how gastropod radular teeth respond to controlled abrasive contact. Distinct surface signatures distinguish regular abrasion from fracture‐dominated material removal, showing how mineralized coatings, fibrous cores, and substrate properties jointly shape wear and failure in a biological scraping interface.
