Tribological analysis of artificial hip joints encompasses detailed investigations into the mechanisms of friction, wear, and lubrication that govern the performance and longevity of hip prostheses.

When it comes to arthritis in the hip joint, patients no longer have to grin and bear it. Instead, hip implants replace damaged natural bearing surfaces with artificial ones in order to alleviate pain ...

Engineers design a computational model that will ultimately serve as the engine to predict how long a hip implant could last for a specific patient. The unique model incorporates fluid dynamics and ...

Rice University engineers hope to make life better for those with replacement joints by modeling how artificial hips are likely to rub them the wrong way. The computational study by the Brown School ...

CLEVELAND -- Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and Exponent, a leading engineering and science-consulting firm in Philadelphia, are working to improve the wear and performance of ...

Dr. Boedo's primary research area focuses on the development of new computational methods and new design guidelines for dynamically loaded conformal fluid-film bearing systems. He currently studies ...

Artificial intelligence can help to predict how well patients with hip osteoarthritis will be able to walk again after an operation. Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have ...
