Composite reinforcement by natural fibres like Flax do not enjoy the same popularity in
engineering design as Carbon or Glass fibres on account of the relatively immature mechanical …

This study is the first to characterize the impact properties of a new hybrid composite made
with woven carbon fibres plus unidirectional (ie Type A) or cross-ply (ie Type B) flax fibres in …

The current study is part of an ongoing research program to develop an advanced new
carbon fiber/flax/epoxy (CF/flax/epoxy) hybrid composite with a “sandwich structure” as a …

Femur fracture at the tip of a total hip replacement (THR), commonly known as Vancouver
B1 fracture, is mainly treated using rigid metallic bone plates which may result in “stress …

Natural fibers are inexpensive, biodegradable, and have similar specific properties to some
synthetic fibers. Hardly any previous investigations exist of a composite made of multiple …

Background: Femur fractures are a common complication of hip arthroplasty. When the stem
is well fixed, fracture fixation is the preferred treatment option. Numerous fixation methods …

Experimental Methods in Orthopaedic Biomechanics is the first book in the field that focuses
on the practicalities of performing a large variety of in-vitro laboratory experiments. …

Biomedical engineers and physicists frequently use human or animal bone for orthopaedic
biomechanics research because they are excellent approximations of living bone. But, there …

Background: The Radiographic Union Score for Tibial fractures (RUST) and the modified
version of the system, mRUST, are popular standards for assessing fracture-healing progress …

Background: The use of artificial bone analogs in biomechanical testing of orthopaedic
fracture fixation devices has increased, particularly due to the recent development of …
