Bio-tribological Advancements in Modular Interface of a Joint Implant

30.01.2024

Introduction In daily activities, articulating interfaces undergo three-dimensional dynamic motion and loading, transmitting frictional forces to modular interfaces, causing fretting wear and corrosion. This phenomenon is observed in various artificial joints, including hips, knees, shoulders, [...]

Superlubricity of nanodiamonds glycerol colloidal solution

22.03.2016

Earlier we reported about superlubricity achieved with a mixture of water and 30 [wt%] glycerol by researchers from Tsinghua University, Beijing. The same investigators just published a paper using this as a base lubricant and [...]
How to better predict the minimum film thickness of elastohydrodynamic contacts?
