A bistable morphing composite using viscoelastically generated prestress [PDF]
, 2015 Elastically generated prestress within polymeric composites can be used to create bistable morphing structures; i.e. they can ‘snap through’ between one of two states.

Characterization of the Fatigue Threshold Behavior of Uhmwpe
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical MaterialsUltra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been the material of choice for bearings in total joint replacements (TJRs) for decades as a result of its excellent wear resistance, chemical inertness, energetic toughness, low friction, and biocompatibility.

Development and Biomechanical Study of the Novel PRUNUS Plate‐Screw System
Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 662-669, April 2026.A novel trilobate reinforced anterior cervical plate‐screw system (PRUNUS) was developed. Biomechanical tests on 12 goat cadavers showed it had comparable 3D stability and fatigue performance to Atlantis, plus superior fixation/locking, effectively stabilizing the cervical spine. ABSTRACT Background Plate‐screw fixation systems have been widely applied

Reduction of Wear Volume from Accelerated Aged UHMWPE Knee Components by the Addition of Vitamin E
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009 Accelerated ageing was conducted on UHMWPE with and without vitamin E (D, L-α tocopherol, VE). Wear performance was investigated using a knee simulator and wear debris was analysed.

Relative motion at the bone-prosthesis interface [PDF]
, 1994 Bone ingrowth in porous surfaces of human joint implants is a desired condition for long-term fixation in patients who are physically active (such as in sport or work). It is generally recognized that little actual bone ingrowth occurs. The best clinical
