Journal ArticleDOI
Elemental composition, morphology and mechanical properties of calcified deposits obtained from abdominal aortic aneurysms.
TL;DR: Results of elemental composition, microscopic morphology, and mechanical property measurements of human calcified deposits obtained from within AAAs indicate the deposits are composed primarily of calcium phosphate with other assorted constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic and Rupture Properties of Porcine Aortic Tissue Measured Using Inflation Testing
TL;DR: The results showed that the dominant directions of anisotropy in the porcine aortas were approximately 45° to the axial and circumferential directions, and that the isotropic contribution to the constitutive model was insignificant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single Pass Rub Phenomena—Analysis and Experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and analytical investigation is presented of contact phenomena for the case of a fully-dense copper gas path seal segment which is rubbed by a single steel blade tip at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Preliminary results from the steady state MR elastography methods being developed to measure the shear modulus of plantar soft tissues are promising and could play a significant role in understanding the weight bearing functions of the plantarsoft tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contact Fatigue Failure of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Bearing Components of Knee Prostheses
Francis E. Kennedy,John H. Currier,S. Plumet,J. L. Duda,D. P. Gestwick,John P. Collier,Barbara H. Currier,M.-C. Dubourg +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the origin of surface failures in UHMWPE tibial bearings of total knee replacements and found that the fatigue cracks invariably initiated in the embrittled oxidized layer, and the depth of that layer determined the depth at which the cracks began.
