Informationen zum Autor Duncan Dowson CBE FRS FREng is a British engineer, and professor emeritus at the University of Leeds. Klappentext Edited by Professor Duncan Dowson, "Advances in Medical Tribology, " includes contributions from the eminent engineers, scientists, amd clinicians in this field. This important collection of papers, previously published as Special Issues of the Proceedings of Mechanical Engineers in the Journal of Engineering in Medicine, brings together some of the most imposrtant research and clinical findings in medical tribology. Key Features: Provides a one-volume collection of the most important work in the fieldKey research and clinical findingsHeavily illustrated Engineers, tribologists, materials scientists, orthopaedics specialists, medical researchers, and any specialists concerned with joint replacement will find this a valuable source of information. Zusammenfassung Presents recent developments in the understanding of polythylene wear; the size and morphology of polythylene wear debris; the use of simulators; studies in wear and creep; metal-on-metal joints; standards for orthopaedic implants; and friction heating for bearing materials.
