      Căpitanu, Lucian; Iarovici, Aron; Onișoru, Justin; Țigăneșteanu, Constantin; Dima, Marius (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      In the present paper the authors try to evaluate, based on the results obtained from experimental and numerical previous studies, the wear evolution in the components of a Total Hip Prosthesis (THP), during the service ...
    • Failure of a Total Knee Prosthesis Tibial Tray Due to the Fatigue Wear 

      Capitanu, Lucian; Iarovici, Aron; Onișoru, Justin (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2006)
      Some studies report the failure of a tibial insert of knee prostheses due to the subsurface cracking and delamination wear [1]. The present study starts by analysing retrieved total knee prosthesis revealing the loss of a ...
    • Prediction of Wear of Acetabulum Inserts Due to Multiple Human Routine Activities 

      Onișoru, Justin; Capitanu, Lucian; Iarovici, Aron (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2006)
      It is difficult to predict the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the wear of the components that allow relative motion due to several factors. First, the prosthetic parts in contact experience a wide spectrum of ...
