Tribological and surface analysis of 38mm alumina–as-cast Co–Cr–Mo total hip arthroplasties (2009)
Journal Article
Williams, S., Wu, J., Unsworth, A., & Khan, I. (2009). Tribological and surface analysis of 38mm alumina–as-cast Co–Cr–Mo total hip arthroplasties. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 223(8), 941-954. https://doi.org/10.1243/09544119jeim590

There is currently much discussion over the use of ceramic femoral components against metal acetabular cups, for use in total hip arthroplasty. The current study investigates six hot isostatically pressed alumina femoral heads of 38 mm diameter artic...

Numerical Prediction on Mechanical Contacts Vanguard Knee Joint replacements Tested in the Displacement-Controlled Prosim Simulator (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wang, Q., & Wu, J. (2009, May). Numerical Prediction on Mechanical Contacts Vanguard Knee Joint replacements Tested in the Displacement-Controlled Prosim Simulator. Presented at IMeChE Knee Arthroplasty: From Early Intervention to Revision, London

Exploring the mechanical environments in total knee replacements (TKR) has been indentified to be useful to understand the early failure of the prostheses. The severe damages observed on the retrieved polyethylene tibial component implicate that the...

The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 2 - Interface Toughness. (2006)
Journal Article
Haughie, D., Buckley, C., & Wu, J. (2006). The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 2 - Interface Toughness. Biomaterials, 27(21), 3875-3881. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2006.03.010

In Part 2 of a study of welding of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), experiments were conducted to measure the interfacial fracture energy of butt welds, for various welding times and temperatures above the melting point. Their tough... Read More about The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 2 - Interface Toughness..
