Summary: Assessment of degradation rate of material can be carried out by many experimental techniques differing in complexity and sophistication. A relatively simple met [...]

This paper deals with modification and usage of custom-designed compression device, that allows real time X-ray tomography scanning of specimen under applied pres sure. [...]

The aim of the paper is to develop a procedure for determination of elasto-visco-plastic constitutive model with damage for human single trabecula. The procedure is suit [...]

The paper is focused on possibilities of modern X-ray detectors and micro-focus X-ray source for investigation of early degradation processes of acetabular implants. To s [...]

The paper deals with microstructure investigation of trabecular bone in acetabular region. Trabecular bone microstructure is the main factor of the bone quality and mecha [...]

Migration of the implant head after hemiarthoplasty is a problem which appertain to nearly all patients. Article deals with development and utilization of parametrical FE [...]

    Methods  for  fully­automatic  generation   of  FE  model  are  shortly discussed in the paper. There are two basic principles of reconstruction [...]

Changes of mechanical properties, namely of modulus of elasticity, often play a role of damage accumulation indicators in the framework of fatigue behaviour of composite [...]

This paper deals with pore size distribution assessment in trabecular structure of human proximal femur. Two different approaches for estimation of histograms of pore siz [...]

The article deals with contact stress analysis of pelvic bone after implantation of cemented acetabular component with imperfections of cemented layer. 3D high resolution [...]
