This paper presents a strain-based damage model to predict the stress-strain relationship and investigate the damage onset and evolution of the fibre and matrix of a fully bio-resorbable phosphate glass fibre reinforced composite under three-point bending. Th...

Optimization simulated injection molding process for ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene nanocomposite hip liner using response surface methodology and simulation of mechanical behavior

10.1016/j.jmbbm.2018.02.025

2018-02-21

In this study, injection molding process of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) reinforced with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) was simulated and optimized through minimizing the shrinkage and warpage of the hip liners as an essential part of a hip pro...

Titanium Surface Bio-functionalization Using Osteogenic Peptides: Surface Chemistry, Biocompatibility, Corrosion and Tribocorrosion Aspects
