Total knee replacements are an effective surgical treatment to restore the function of the
knee. For an adequate design, knowledge about stresses and lubrication conditions is vital …

Diamond-like carbon coatings may decrease implant wear, therefore, they are helping to
reduce aseptic loosening and increase service life of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). This …

In highly loaded steel-bronze rolling-sliding contacts under mixed lubrication conditions,
abrasive wear often occurs and limits the service life. Up to now, in applications of thermal …

Total knee arthroplasty has become a routine procedure for patients suffering from joint
diseases. Although the number of operations continuously increases, a limited service-life of …

Abstract Background Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is an important fruit crop of tropical and
subtropical areas of the world. Genomics resources in guava are scanty. RNA-Seq based …

This paper presents the transient analysis of a human artificial knee joint under
elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) for point contact with non-Newtonian lubricants. The …

In this study, the local convective heat transfer from a rotating disk with a transverse air
crossflow was evaluated using an infrared thermographic experimental setup. Solving the …

This study proposes the utilization of artificially textured surfaces to enhance film thickness in
line contacts operating under soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication. Moreover, this …

This work is concerned with the lubrication analysis of artificial knee joints, which plays an
increasing significant role in clinical performance and longevity of components. Time …

Bone plates are essential for providing mechanical support during the healing of bone
fractures by adapting to the biochemical environment. The surface quality of bone plates …
