The tribological behavior of M30NW stainless steel against UHMWPE was investigated. The wear tests were conducted on a reciprocating pin-on-disc tribometer under dry and …
Wear of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is highly dependent on cross-shear, but the fundamental relation between them is not well understood. Over a half-dozen …
The distribution state and concentration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are predominant factors in the reinforcement of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene …
The long-term performance of orthopedic devices is paramount to alleviating the economic burden from degenerative diseases and traumatic injury. Wear particles of metal-on-polymer …
Water-lubricated surface bearing components experience boundary and mixed lubrication during operation. The lack of lubrication induces temperature increase, affecting the …
