Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) involves using computer-controlled machines to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) structural and functional parts layer by layer. To date, ample AM application opportunities exist in the health ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) woven fabrics have been considered by biomedical researchers to be used as load-bearing surfaces in joint and ligament replacements. In this regard, wear is a crucial phenomenon that determines ...

Abstract: A new method of bone fracture fixation has been developed in which fixation darts (small diameter nails/pins) are driven across a fracture site at high velocity with a pneumatically powered gun. When fixation darts are ...
