Micromechanical properties of hydroxyapatite nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs and ZrO2
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study examined the mechanical properties, wettability, and tribology of hydroxyapatite (HA)–zirconia (ZrO2)–carbon nanotube (CNTs) ceramic nanocomposites (with various CNT ratios (x): 1, 5, and 10 wt%). HA–ZrO2–CNT-x ...
Effect of zirconia nanotube coating on the hydrophilicity and mechanochemical behavior of zirconium for biomedical applications
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Zirconium has attracted considerable attention in the biomedical field owing to its biocompatibility and desirable tribological and mechanical properties. In this study, we anodized pure zirconium in an ammonium fluoride ...
Effects of titanium and carbon nanotubes on nano/micromechanical properties of HA/TNT/CNT nanocomposites
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
In this study, hydroxyapatite/titanium nanotube/carbon nanotube (HA/TNT/CNT) nanocomposites with different CNT contents were fabricated using a combination of hydrothermal and sol–gel methods. The nanocomposite powders ...
Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Sensors for Hip Implant: A Numerical and Computational Feasibility Investigation Using Finite Element Methods
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
In this paper, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor for hip implant geometry was proposed for the application of total hip replacement. A two-port SAW device was numerically investigated for implementation with an operating ...
Design and Performance Evaluation of a Novel Spiral Head-Stem Trunnion for Hip Implants Using Finite Element Analysis
(
MDPI
, 2023 , Article)
With an expectation of an increased number of revision surgeries and patients receiving orthopedic implants in the coming years, the focus of joint replacement research needs to be on improving the mechanical properties ...
A Review of Biomaterials and Associated Performance Metrics Analysis in Pre-Clinical Finite Element Model and in Implementation Stages for Total Hip Implant System
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article Review)
Total hip replacement (THR) is a common orthopedic surgery technique that helps thousands of individuals to live normal lives each year. A hip replacement replaces the shattered cartilage and bone with an implant. Most hip ...
Instrumented Hip Implant: A Review
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Article Review)
About 20% of people older than forty years old face more bone degenerative diseases. The older population is increasing quite rapidly than before which increases the need for knee or hip implants tremendously. One of the ...
Review on medical implantable antenna technology and imminent research challenges
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article Review)
Implantable antennas are mandatory to transfer data from implants to the external world wirelessly. Smart implants can be used to monitor and diagnose the medical conditions of the patient. The dispersion of the dielectric ...
A Shallow U-Net Architecture for Reliably Predicting Blood Pressure (BP) from Photoplethysmogram (PPG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG) Signals
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death around the world. To detect and treat heart-related diseases, continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring along with many other parameters are required. Several ...
Angle-insensitive co-polarized metamaterial absorber based on equivalent circuit analysis for dual band WiFi applications
(
Nature Research
, 2021 , Article)
A novel and systematic procedure to design a co-polarized electromagnetic metamaterial (MM) absorber with desired outputs and resonance frequencies for dual-band WiFi signal absorption is presented. The desired resonance ...
