Rotating beam fatigue testers are one of the oldest methods used to determine a material’s fatigue behavior. To perform a test with ADMET’s Rotating Beam Tester, a sample is placed in the machine and a force is applied via a bending moment using weights hung off the sample. The force induces a surface stress that will be tensile on one side of the sample (generally the top) and compressive on the…
Our team worked on designing test equipment for a custom and complex friction test where specimens were coated wires and plastics. The coefficient of friction values calculated here were to provide information on the static release and the kinetic lubricity of the engineered coatings. Our customer’s coating solutions are engineered for use in medical applications including catheter systems, tipping and welding mandrels, guide wires and pull wires.
The knee is a complex hinge joint with ligaments that support the joint as bone surfaces glide with knee movements including back and forth, sideways, and bent. Knee joint prostheses are intended for replacement of a knee joint or part of a knee joint.
Design considerations for a knee joint prosthesis include:
