Abstract: A clamped cantilever beam test was developed to determine the fatigue crack propagation rate of the CoCr alloy/PMMA cement interface at high crack tip phase angles. A combination of finite ...

Abstract: The tensile mechanical behavior of the cement-bone interface where there was a large process (plastic) zone at the interface was modeled using a nonlinear fracture mechanics approach. A finite ...

Abstract: The fluid dynamic behavior of a Newtonian water/glycerol solution, a non-Newtonian polymer (separan) solution, and bovine blood were compared in the Penn State Electrical Ventricular Assist Device ...
