Viscoelasticity and shear-thinning effects on bio-polymer solution and suspended particle behaviours under oscillatory curve Couette flow conditions

Viscoelasticity and shear-thinning effects on bio-polymer solution and suspended particle behaviours under oscillatory curve Couette flow conditions

Formation of wear particles within total hip replacement is one of the main causes of its failure. In addition to improving the lubrication and wear resistance of materials used as bearing surfaces, understanding of wear particle distribution patterns within lubricants inside an implant gap could be...
