Dental implants are now widely used for the replacement of missing teeth in fully or partially
edentulous patients and for cranial reconstructions. However, risks of failure, which may …

The use of artificial bones in implant testing has become popular due to their low variability
and ready availability. However, friction coefficients, which are critical to load transfer in …

Frictional phenomena can be observed in almost every engineering problem and
application. An interesting application is related to the frictional behaviour of elastomers …

Several hip stems were re-evaluated in this paper. Finite element analysis was conducted
for each of the stems with various cross-sections applied to them. Comparison of von Mises …

The characterization of the biomechanical properties of newly formed bone tissue around
implants is important to understand the osseointegration process. The objective of this study …

The main component of rubber friction is known to be of hysteretic nature, ie it is due to
viscoelastic energy dissipation taking place in the bulk of the material as a result of the …

In this work, a contact homogenization technique is developed to extract the macroscopic
coefficient of friction (CF) from a three-body frictional system. The particular frictional system …

Das Ziel der Hüftendoprothesen-Implantation ist die Wiederherstellung eines zuvor
schmerzhaft geschädigten und bewegungseingeschränkten Hüftgelenkes unter besonderer …

The characterization of the biomechanical properties of newly formed bone tissue around
implants is important to understand the osseointegration process. The objective of this study …

Background The surgical success of cementless implants is determined by the evolution of
the biomechanical properties of the bone–implant interface (BII). One difficulty to model the …
