• Dynamics of Hip Artificial Joints Wear 

      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 ...
    • The Effect of Wiberg Angle on the Contact Pressure Pistribution in Natural and Artficial Joint 

      Tudor, Andrei; Parsu, Carmen; Sorina, Opriș (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      The analogies and differences between the mechanical joints and the biological ones, in the presence of relative motion, are based on the pressure distribution. The paper analysed a numerical model of the pressure distribution ...
    • Wear Prediction of Hip Endoprostheses 

      Căpitanu, Lucian; Onişoru, Justin; Iarovici, Aron (2007)
      The total hip prostheses can be considered as medical-mechanical devices with established failure. The large domain of common activities induces a wide spectrum of loadings in contact prosthetic parts. The contact conditions ...
