Polymer Viscoelasticity in Shear

Fabienne Meier

Polymer materials may exhibit significant viscoelastic behaviour under various type of deformations. A model that can describe various viscous behaviours in simple tension was proposed in a previous work of the laboratory of biomechanical orthopedics. This ...

Evaluation of thin film adhesion to compliant substrate by the analysis of progressive buckling in fragmentation test

Yves Leterrier

The interface toughness of a thin coating/compliant substrate system is estimated based on the evolution of coating buckle patterns in the fragmentation test. The linear density of coating buckles as a function of applied strain is determined experimentall ...

Comparison of polyethylene wear in anatomical and reversed shoulder prostheses

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Francesco Merlini

Wear of polyethylene is associated with aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants and has been observed in hip and knee prostheses and anatomical implants for the shoulder. The reversed shoulder prostheses have not been assessed as yet. We investigated the ...
