Comparison of various functionally graded femoral prostheses by finite element analysis
(
Hindawi
, 2014 , Article)
This study is focused on finite element analysis of a model comprising femur into which a femoral component of a total hip replacement was implanted. The considered prosthesis is fabricated from a functionally graded ...
Finite element study of functionally graded porous femoral stems incorporating body-centered cubic structure
(
Blackwell Publishing Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The mismatch between stiffness of the femoral dense stem and host bone causes complications to patients, such as aseptic loosening and bone resorption. Three‐dimensional finite‐element models of homogeneous porous (HGP) ...
Influence of tire blowout on the collision of a light pickup truck with a guardrail safety barrier
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
This main purpose of this work is to investigate, through a finite-element simulation, the effect of tire blowout on the collision of a light pickup truck with a guardrail, at a speed of 100 km/h. The finite-element model ...
Synthesis and characterization of nickel-cobalt oxide for ethanol decomposition
(
AIChE
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this work we use combustion synthesis method to prepare cobalt catalysts which have been reported to be active for ethanol-hydrogen production. This work focuses primarily on understanding the reaction mechanism leading ...
Damping and vibration response of viscoelastic smart sandwich plate reinforced with non-uniform Graphene platelet with magnetorheological fluid core
(
Techno Press
, 2019 , Article)
This study considers the instability behavior of sandwich plates considering magnetorheological (MR) fluid core and piezoelectric reinforced facesheets. As facesheets at the top and bottom of structure have piezoelectric ...
Review on Finite Element Material Modelling of Brain Tissue for Surgical Simulation
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Surgical simulation is a growing field of interest as it serves as a good training for the medical practitioners as well as planning and preparing for surgery. For a reliable and a good outcome from the simulation, the ...
Thalamic visual prosthesis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Article)
Glaucoma is a neurological disorder leading to blindness initially through the loss of retinal ganglion cells, followed by loss of neurons higher in the visual system. Some work has been undertaken to develop prostheses ...
Highly active and stable bi-functional NiCoO2 catalyst for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions in alkaline medium
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Single step solution combustion technique was used to synthesize NiO, Co3O4 and NiCoO2 mixed metal oxide with good crystallinity and uniform properties. XRD spectrum indicates the existence of cubic NiCoO2 phase without ...
Study of ethanol dehydrogenation reaction mechanism for hydrogen production on combustion synthesized cobalt catalyst
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Cobalt nanoparticles synthesized via solution combustion synthesis were used to study the decomposition mechanism of ethanol for hydrogen production. Thermodynamic studies were conducted on the synthesis of cobalt nanoparticles ...
Influence of initial biomechanical environment provided by fibrous composite intramedullary nails on bone fracture healing
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Long bone fractures are primarily treated with internal fixation devices, and intramedullary (IM) nails are the most commonly used. Reamed and unreamed surgical procedures are commonly used to attach IM nails to fractured ...
