Common practice of surgical treatments in orthopaedics and traumatology involves cutting
processes of bone. These operations introduce risk of thermo-mechanical damage, since …

Cutting operations in bone are involved in surgical treatments in orthopaedics and
traumatology. The importance of guaranteeing the absence of damage in the living …

In this paper, an improved mechanistic model is developed to predict the thrust force and
torque for bone-drilling operation. The cutting action at the drill point is divided into three …

The bone drilling process is very prominent in orthopedic surgeries and in the repair of bone
fractures. It is also very common in dentistry and bone sampling operations. Due to the …

Excessive drilling forces can result in drill breakage, bone breakthrough, and thermal
necrosis during bone drilling process. However, the effect of drilling process parameters …

Surgical procedures that affect the human body's bone structure, often entail cutting, drilling
or screwing operations of bone. The post-operative success of these procedures is largely …

Bone milling force is a key factor to be controlled during the orthopedic surgery. Cutting force
has significant influence on the breaking of the tools or causing bone cracks. The cutting …

This paper provides a methodology to develop a thermal model for predicting the
temperature rise during surgical drilling of bone. The thermal model consists of heat …

During surgical interventions where bone machining operations are involved (drilling,
sawing, etc.), bone tissue may be damaged by the mechanical and thermal loads, and thus …

Micro modeling of bones is a topic of considerable interest today. These complex organic
materials are hierarchical bio-composites characterized by complex multi-scale structural …
