RISExperimental and Numerical Modeling of Variable Friction Between Nanoregions in Conventional and Crosslinked UHMWPE
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, highly crosslinked UHMWPE components have been promoted for their high abrasive wear resistance over conventional UHMWPE (PE) in total joint replacement (TJR) prostheses to minimize ...
The Quantification of Physiologically Relevant Cross-Shear Wear Phenomena on Orthopaedic Bearing Materials Using the MAX-Shear Wear Testing System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: The occurrence of multi-directional sliding motion between total knee replacement bearing surfaces is theorized to be a primary wear and failure mechanism of ultra-high molecular weight ...
Role of Cytoskeletal Components in Stress-Relaxation Behavior of Adherent Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A number of recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for characterization of cellular stress-relaxation behavior. However, this technique’s recent development ...
