Journal Article
Wu, J. (2006). Quantitative constitutive behaviour and viscoelastic properties of fresh flexor tendons. The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 29(9), 852-857. https://doi.org/10.5301/ijao.2008.646

The objective of this study was to obtain detailed high quality experimental data under well-controlled test conditions in order to quantify tendon viscoelastic behaviour and provide an experimental basis for large deformation mathematical modelling....

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..

The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 1 Model (2006)
Journal Article
Buckley, C., Wu, J., & Haughie, D. (2006). The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 1 Model. Biomaterials, 27(17), 3178-3186. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2006.01.030

The difficulty of eradicating memory of powder–particle interfaces in UHMWPE for bearing surfaces for hip and knee replacements is well-known, and ‘fusion defects’ have been implicated frequently in joint failures. During processing the polymer is fo... Read More about The integrity of welded interfaces in ultra high molecular weight polyethylene: Part 1 Model.
