Artificial Joints

The study of human and artificial joint lubrication is a growing field, and the Journal of Engineering Tribology has covered it in detail. Here are some of the recent papers on the subject:


The influence of swing phase load on the electrochemical response, friction, and ion release of metal-on-metal hip prostheses in a friction simulator
Vol 223, J3, DOI 10.1243/13506501JET568
Long-term contact-coupled wear prediction for metal-on-metal total hip joint replacement
InPress, DOI 10.1243/13506501JET592
Friction and lubricant film thickness measurements on simulated synovial fluids
Vol 223, J3, DOI 10.1243/13506501JET580
