RISCracks Emanating From Slipping Inclusions Near a Bone-Implant Interface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It has been hypothesized that mechanical fracture at the bone-cement-implant interface is the initial cause for loosening of orthopedic implants. Previous investigators have observed cracks to ...
Erratum: “A Crack Terminating at a Slippage Interface Between Two Materials” (Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1991, 58, pp. 960–963)

The Effect of Fluid Loss on the Viscoelastic Behavior of the Lumbar Intrevertebral Disc in Compression
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A viscoelastic finite element model of a L2-L3 motion segment was constructed and used to study: (1) the behavior of the intervertebral disc with different amounts of nucleus fluid loss; and ...
Cracks Emanating From Circular Voids or Elastic Inclusions in PMMA Near a Bone-Implant Interface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical fracture is believed to be a primary reason for loss of fixation at the bone-cement-implant interface. In addition to the expected cracks at the bone-cement interface, cracks are ...
A Crack Terminating at a Slipping Interface Between Two Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper investigates an edge crack that terminates at a slipping interface with a different material. The formulation is reduced to a singular integral equation. The integral equation is ...
