• Characterizing the Wear Particles of Intervertebral Disc Prosthesis and their Biological Response 

      Crețan Stamate, Monica; Gafițanu, Mihai; Stamate, Ciprian (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      Prosthetic debris is the leading factor causing prosthetic loosening and requiring revision surgery. Wear debris is formed over time with any prosthesis. Factors determining disc arthroplasty survivability are similar to ...
    • 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 ...
    • On Tribological Behaviour of Thermo-Chemical Treated Steels after Thermo-Magnetic Treatments 

      Papadatu, Carmen-Penelopi (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      The paper presents an analysis on two grades of steel, subjected to nitrocarburized or nitrided thermo-chemical treatment after different thermomagnetic treatments. Based on the concept of tribosystem, pairs of steel rollers ...
    • Wear Behaviour of the AL7175 Alloy under Different Bulk Stress States 

      Buciumeanu, Mihaela; Miranda, A.S; Silva, F.S (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      In what concerns the stresses involved in the process, most wear tests (namely those in the pin on disc and the pin on plate configurations) are usually solely concerned with the stress state in the contact originated by ...
