Parametric study of radial functionally graded femoral prostheses with different geometries
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Due to complex loading and chemical conditions of the human body, the artificial replacements of the body organs demand materials with superior characteristics. Therefore, recently using composite materials have gained a ...
Geometrical investigation of piezoelectric patches for broadband energy harvesting in non-deterministic composite plates
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Mechanical energy is the most ubiquitous form of energy that can be harvested and converted into useful electrical power. For this reason, the piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs), with their inherent electromechanical ...
Design and Development of a Smart Vibration Absorber
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2024 , Conference Paper)
High-rise buildings have become normalized for urban cities as it minimizes the available land used to house many tenants. The stability of the buildings is often subjected to extraneous loading from the wind and ground. ...
Finite element modelling and characterization of 3D cellular microstructures for the design of a cementless biomimetic porous hip stem
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Titanium porous cellular microstructures are commonly used in bone mimetic implants. The orientations of the internal strut architectures of these microstructures affect the mechanical performance under various loads; ...
Effect of Geometrical Parameters on the Performance of Longitudinal Functionally Graded Femoral Prostheses
(2015 , Article)
This study aimed to assess the performance of different longitudinal functionally graded femoral prostheses. This study was also designed to develop an appropriate prosthetic geometric design for longitudinal functionally ...
Effect of composite intramedullary nails (IM) on healing of long bone fractures by means of reamed and unreamed methods
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Complications are common during bone fracture healing owing to incompatibility of the implants. Flexible fibrous composite materials are promising materials that offer excellent biomechanical compatibility. Flexible composite ...
Study of mild steel sandwich structure energy absorption performance subjected to localized impulsive loading
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Extensive research focus had been given to sacrificial sandwich panels to mitigate the effects of blast loads. This is due to their ability to distribute the load and absorb a significant portion of the blast energy. This ...
Numerical and experimental investigation on corrugation geometry for metallic tubes under lateral loading
(
Trans Tech Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy absorption devices are being used to protect structures from severe damages and reduce injury to occupants during accidents. The integrated characteristics of crash absorption devices can be classified as high energy ...
Functionally graded porous femoral stem: Computational Analysis
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Hip implants fail for many reasons. One of these reasons is due to aseptic loosening which causes bone resorption. The paper is oriented to investigate functionally graded porous stems by incorporating unique porous ...
Biomechanical design of a composite femoral prosthesis to investigate the effects of stiffness, coating length, and interference press fit
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
Traditionally, high stiffness hip prostheses are associated with aseptic loosening. Hence, the effects of stiffness, coating length, and interference press fit on load sharing and micro-movements are investigated for a ...
