    Dynamic Computational Wear Model of Peek-On Bearing Couple in Total Hip Replacements
    (Elsevier, 2023) Alpkaya, Alican Tuncay; Mihçin, Şenay
    Understanding wear mechanisms is a key factor to prevent primary failures causing revision surgery in total hip replacement (THR) applications. This study introduces a wear prediction model of (Polyetheretherketone) PEEK-on-XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) bearing couple utilized to investigate the wear mechanism under 3D-gait cycle loading over 5 million cycles (Mc). A 32-mm PEEK femoral head and 4-mm thick XLPE bearing liner with a 3-mm PEEK shell are modeled in a 3D explicit finite element modeling (FEM) program. The volumetric and linear wear rates of XLPE liner per every million cycles were predicted as 1.965 mm3/Mc, and 0.0032 mm/Mc respectively. These results are consistent with the literature. PEEK-on-XLPE bearing couple exhibits a promising wear performance used in THR application. The wear pattern evolution of the model is similar to that of conventional polyethylene liners. Therefore, PEEK could be proposed as an alternative material to the CoCr head, especially used in XLPE-bearing couples. The wear prediction model could be utilized to improve the design parameters with the aim of prolonging the life span of hip implants. © 2023

    Quasi-Static Axial Crushing of Extruded Polystyrene Foam-Filled Thin-Walled Aluminum Tubes: Experimental and Numerical Analysis
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Aktay, Levent; Toksoy, Ahmet Kaan; Güden, Mustafa
    The experimental and numerical quasi-static crushing responses of extruded closed cell polystyrene foam-filled thin-walled aluminum tubes were investigated. The numerical crash analysis of empty and foam-filled tubes was performed using the explicit finite element code PAM-CRASH™. Satisfactory agreements were generally achieved between the finite element model and experimental deformed shapes, load–displacements, fold lengths and specific energy absorptions. The model and experiments have also highlighted the several effects of foam filling on the crushing of thin-walled tubes. The energy absorptions in foam-filled tubes were further shown to be higher than the sum of the energy absorptions of empty tube (alone) and filler (alone).
