  2. 16. Wear characteristics of materials for artificial hip joints

    Author : Mohammed Seyed Hoseini Nazari; RISE; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HDPE; UHMWPE; Coating; Tribology; Pin-on-disc; Y-irradiation; Vitamin E; Wear; Implant; Artificial hip joint;

    Abstract : Total hip prostheses have succeeded in significantly improving the quality of life of millions of patients worldwide. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been widely and successfully used as a bearing material in orthopaedic prostheses since the 1960s. READ MORE

  4. 17. Assessment of acetabular cup wear with computed tomography and influence of surface roughness on wear of materials for hip prostheses

    Author : Anneli Jedenmalm; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hip prostheses; Computed Tomography; Surface roughness; UHMWPE; Wear; Coating; γ-irradiation; pin-on-disc; hip simulator; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Over one million hip prostheses are implanted in patients worldwide each year and the need is increasing as the patient group of younger and more active patients is increasing. Many parameters affect the longevity of the implant, where aseptic loosening caused by wear debris is the most common reason for revision. READ MORE

  5. 18. Particle emissions from car brakes : The influence of contact conditions on the pad-to-rotor interface

    Author : Mattia Alemani; Ulf Olofsson; Jens Wahlström; Anders Söderberg; Staffan Jacobson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Car brakes emissions; transition temperature; working conditions; environmental design; pin-on-disc; Bilbromsutsläpp; övergångstemperatur; arbetsförhållanden; miljödesign; pinne-på-skiva; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Due to their adverse health effects emissions have been regulated for over three decades. Brake wear particulate matter is the most important non-exhaust source, however current knowledge is mainly limited to observational studies. READ MORE

  6. 19. Computed Tomography of Acetabular Cup Wear and Effect of Surface Roughness on Wear and Oxidation of UHMWPE Hip Prostheses

    Author : Anneli Jedenmalm; Ulf Gedde; André Stark; Karin Jacobson; Nicklas Axén; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hip prostheses; Computed Tomography; Surface roughness; UHMWPE; Wear; Coating; Gamma-irradiation; pin-on-disc; hip simulator; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Aseptic loosening is the most common complication in total hip replacement (5- 10% at 10 years follow up). The magnitude of the problem is illustrated by the fact that about one million hip prostheses are implanted worldwide each year. READ MORE

  7. 20. Ultrahigh-Voltage Silicon Carbide Device Performance, Requirements, and Limitations in High-Power Applications

    Author : Daniel Johannesson; Hans-Peter Nee; Staffan Norrga; Muhammad Nawaz; Alberto Castellazzi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; 4H-SiC; Current Filamentation; Device Characterization; Dynamic Avalanche; JTE Structure; Junction Termination Extension Design; SiC BJT; SiC GTO Thyristor; SiC IGBT; SiC MOSFET; SiC PiN Diode; Silicon Carbide; TCAD Simulation; Wide bandgap device; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The increased awareness of the on-going climate change accelerates the electric energy system transformation from fossil-fueled power sources towards systems with larger portions of renewable energy sources. Moreover, the grid infrastructure requires reinforcements to cope with increasing electrical energy demand. READ MORE
