Tribology has been central to the development of this field of
engineering and Friction, Lubrication, and Wear of Artificial
Joints brings together the work of the foremost
authorities. Recent key work, particularly on hip and knee
replacement prostheses form the major part of this book.
Artificial joint technology, clinical practice, and the
monitoring of on-going wear in use have progressed by leaps and
bounds in the last few years. Medical research engineers,
tribology specialists, and materials technologists each play an
important role in ensuring that this marriage of engineering and
medicine delivers the best possible outcome for the patients who
receive the implants.
Contents of this book include:
* Biotribology - A personal view
* The influence of component geometry on the measurement of
wear
* A tribological study of metal-on-metal total replacement hip
joints
* The lubrication and friction of conventional UHMWPE, novel
compliant layer and hard bearing surfaces for use in total hip
prostheses
* Prediction of lubricating film thickness in UHMWPE hip joint
replacements
* Wear of ceramic-on-ceramic hip prostheses under
micro-separation simulation conditions
* Friction and wear testing of DLC type coatings on total hip
replacement prostheses
* Simulator testing of total knee replacement
* A new measurement method for wear scars generated with knee
simulators
