Abstract: The asperity contact regions in static contact are subjected to very high stress. Deformation is plastic and the material can suffer localized creep that is not usually observed at conventional ...

Abstract: This paper explores the effect of under-reaming on micromotion at the cup/bone interface of a press-fit acetabular cup. A cadaver experiment was performed on 11 acetabuli implanted with a ...

Abstract: Increasing concern for groundwater pollution with nitrate (

Abstract: The continuously improved performance of personal computers enables the real-time motion simulation of complex multibody systems, such as the whole model of an automobile, on a conventional PC, ...

Abstract: A statistical design of experiments was used to study the effect of reaction temperature and time on the synthesis of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles by the thermodecomposition method. A 24–2 ...

Abstract: Polyethylene wear after total hip arthroplasty may occur as a result of normal gait and as a result of subluxation and relocation with impact. Relocation of a subluxed hip may impart a moment ...

Abstract: Using atomic force microscopic and tribometry techniques, we characterized the cuticle surface of the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) and studied lubrication properties of the wax developed ...

Abstract: The application of a two-dimensional (2D) finite volume numerical model to real flood events in the Ebro River is presented. The hydraulic model used is based on the 2D transient shallow-water equations on the irregular ...

Abstract: Glass-fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs) are commonly used in various applications in civil-engineering projects. However, they are not common in the construction of civil-marine structures. The GFRP caisson technology was ...
