hydrodynamic pressure
hyperelastic human joints
deformable gap - Opis:
- The synovial joint has two main components: solid one represented by the cartilage, and bio-fluid by the synovial fluid. The cartilage is a soft anisotropic solid containing pores filled with a fluid. In this paper is determined the pressure distributions in a thin layer of non-Newtonian, lubricant inside the deformable gap of spherical human hip joint. The load carrying capacities in human joints with cartilage deformations are much smaller than that obtained for not deformable cartilage surface. The changes of the joint gap height during the lubrication process are caused by the deformation of two cooperating spherical joint surfaces covered by the soft cartilage superficial layer. Hypo-elastic deformations of cartilage are taken into account. In the general case the cartilage can be subjected to large deformations. The main results described in this paper are as follows: 1.Numerical calculated values of pressure distributions for the elbow cylindrical human joints performed in this paper by virtue of analytical models taking into account the effects of congenial and growth influences on the lubrication process are compared with initial measured hydrodynamic pressure values performed by means of AFM. Measured pressure values obtained by the S. Chizhik et al. 2006 in experimental way, are different about 7 percent from the numerical values obtained in presented paper using the analytical solutions. 2.In presented paper is derived the modified Reynolds equation containing the terms describing the influences of congenial and genetic properties of the lubricant and micro-bearing materials on the pressure and load carrying capacity of bio-joints and micro-bearing. The comparisons presented in this project between human bio-joints and micro-bearings are indicated that the biobearing theory of lubrication is very helpful in MEMS and NEMS devices. The research presented in the project provides an important impact for developing the new scientific domain such as cyto-tribology, histo-tribology or tribology of cells, and tissue and of micro-surfaces occurring in mechanical micro-bearings. According to the participants knowledge such scientific domains are completely new and have been not so far initiated by any scientific centre and in any area of tribology and tissue engineering.
