W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań chropowatości, zwilżalności oraz energii powierzchniowej tytanu (Grade 4) oraz stopu Ti6Al7Nb o zróżnicowanej modyfikacji powierzchni. Odpowiednio przygotowane próbki poddano szlifowaniu na papierze o ziarnistości 1200, polerowaniu mechanicznemu zawiesiną diamentową i jako etap końcowy zawiesiną SiO2. Następnie podzielono je na grupy i część z nich dodatkowo poddano sterylizacji parowej oraz 28-dniowej ekspozycji na roztwór Ringera. Do badań wykorzystano profilometr stykowy Surtronic 3+ firmy Tylor&Hobson i goniometr SURFTENS UNIVERSAL firmy OEG. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono różnice w wartościach chropowatości oraz zwilżalności i energii powierzchniowej w zależności od badanej powierzchni. Uzyskane wartości należą do grupy wyznaczanych parametrów, które są istotne podczas doboru sposobu przygotowania powierzchni do zastosowań na implanty zarówno ortopedyczne, jak i stomatologiczne.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań własności mechanicznych i fizykochemicznych płytki kątowej do leczenia złamań międzykrętarzowych, wykonanej ze stali 316L odpornej na korozję w stanie umocnionym o powierzchni polerowanej elektrochemicznie i pasywowanej chemicznie. Płytka została usunięta z organizmu po 18 miesiącach. Analizowano wpływ ilości uszkodzeń mechanicznych powierzchni na chropowatość oraz odporność na korozję wżerową. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników stwierdzono, że w miejscach o licznych uszkodzeniach mechanicznych powierzchni, wartości parametru Ra przekraczają 0,16 μm. Wpływa to na obniżenie odporności korozyjnej w tych obszarach w odniesieniu do powierzchni nieuszkodzonych.

The paper presents results of mechanical and physicochemical properties of the angular bone plates, made of cold-worked 316L stainless steel, electrochemically polished and chemically passivated designed for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. The plate was removed from the body after 18 months. The influence of mechanical surface damage on roughness and pitting corrosion resistance were analyzed. It has been found based on the obtained results that in areas with mechanically damaged surface the Ra parameter exceed 0.16 μm. This affects the decrease in pitting corrosion resistance in these areas in relation to the unaffected surfaces.

The results of fully resolved simulations and large eddy simulations of bluff-body flows obtained by means of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) are reported. A selection of Reynolds numbers has been investigated in unsteady laminar and transient flow regimes. Computed drag coefficients of a cube have been compared with the available data for validation purposes. Then, a more detailed analysis of the flow past a sphere is presented, including also the determination of vortex shedding frequency and the resulting Strouhal numbers. Advantages and drawbacks of the chosen geometry implementation technique, so called “staircase geometry”, are discussed. For the quest of maximum computational effi- ciency, all simulations have been carried out with the use of in-house code executed on GPU.

Purpose: The paper presents the results of numerical analysis of expandable intramedullary nail – femur system in different states of healing. The aim of the research was to determine displacements, deformations and stresses occurring in a bone depending on the age of the patient and the extent level of osteoporosis. Design/methodology/approach: A femur was selected to numerical analysis. The analysis concerned the influence of the load and torsion of the system on the obtained results of displacements, deformations and reduced stresses. In order to make calculations, four models with different mechanical properties were chosen: model 1: femur with mechanical properties corresponding with a femur of a patient at the age of 16, model 2: with mechanical properties corresponding with a femur of a patient at the age of about 28, model 3: with mechanical properties corresponding with a femur of a patient at the age of about 20 and at the age of 50 to 65 years old and model 4: with mechanical properties corresponding with a femur of a patient at the age above 70 or with osteoporosis. For the chosen model of intramedullary nail, mechanical properties of titan alloy Ti-6Al-4V were used. Two load steps were analyzed: load step 1 in which simple axial load with a value ranging from 250 up to 1000 N simulating patient standing on one leg was used, and load step 2 – a torsion analyzing loads that the nail is exposed to while walking. Findings: Conducted analysis of the system showed the difference in displacements, deformations and reduced stresses depending on assumed mechanical properties of femur and load step of the system. Research limitations/implications: The limitations were connected with the necessity of simplifying the assumptions, which were associated with limitations caused by boundary conditions. In researches 4 forces loading the femur axially were used: 1: force F = 250N, 2: with force F = 500N, 3: with force F= 750N and 4: with force F = 1000N and 5 values of angle displacement of the femur head were assumed: 1: angle displacement ö = 1°, 2: ö = 5°, 3: ö = 10°, 4: ö = 15°, 5: ö = 20°. Practical implications: Obtained results can be applied in selection of stabilization methods of bone fragments and in forecasting biomechanical conditions depending on the age of patient and the state of his general conditions of bones. Originality/value: The paper presents the displacement-deformation-stress characteristics of femur - expandable intramedullary nail system, using the Finite Elements Method (FEM) in the analysis.

Purpose: The paper presents results of experimental analysis of femur and femur - expandable intramedullary nail system. The aim of the work was to determine displacement in three models. In addition, the torsion of the system aiming at determining the moments depending on the torsional angle of the bone was carried out. Design/methodology/approach: Three femurs were selected for studies. The analysis was carried out on the femur - expandable intramedullary nail system. The influence of the loads and displacements on the bone - nail system on the results of experimental analysis was analysed. In order to carry out calculations, three models were selected: model I - bone without fracture gap, model II and III - femur with expansion intramedullary nails - fracture gap was located 100 mm under greater trochanter. The studies were performed on femur models produced by Swedish company Sawbones. The intramedullary "Fixion IM" nails (Ti-6Al-4V alloy) were implanted into the bone. Displacements of determinated models were being recorded from the sensors every 100 N from 10 N to 2000 N. Findings: The analyses showed the difference in displacements, depending on the selected models. Research limitations/implications: The limitations were connected with simplification of boundary conditions during analysis which were the result of the simplification of the models. While studying, muscles and ligaments supporting the bone in anatomic position were not taken into consideration. Instead, the system has been loaded with the axial force (compression). Practical implications: The obtained results can be useful in clinical practice. They can be applied in selection of stabilization methods or rehabilitation as well as in describing the biomechanical conditions connected with type of bone fracture obtained from medical imaging. Originality/value: . The work compares the values of displacement of characteristic points of femur (healthy - model I) with the femur - expandable intramedullary nail system (models II and III) with the applied force. In order to estimate the value of the torsional angle of the upper part in relation to the lower one depending on the applied force, the torsion of the model was conducted. On this basis, it was indicated a maximum moment in which the nail would not become loose in medullar canal.

Dysfunctions of the vertebral column belong to a group of civilisation diseases and they affect approximately 80% of population. The underlying cause is modern (sedentary) lifestyle, low locomotive activity of people and frequent motor vehicle and sports accidents. Despite civilisation’s progress, no injury prophylactics or prevention of dysfunctions of the vertebral column have been introduced. The key element influencing function of the vertebral column is the intervertebral disc. It enables multidimensional movements and constitutes a basic connective element between the joints of the vertebral column. It also enables performing basic daily activities. Acting as a “damper”, it cushions vibrations and transmits loads between the vertebrae. One of the diseases affecting the intervertebral disc is discopathy. This is the most common degenerative disease, which can be treated by both conservative and surgical treatment. After removal of the damaged disc, it can be replaced by an adequate implant, which will assume its function. The implant will be expected to restore the vertebral column motor function, as well as to eliminate the pain resulting from compression of the spine caused by the damaged disc. This paper presents a biomechanical analysis using the finite element method for the L2-L3 vertebrae system with natural intervertebral disc, and the L2-L3 – implant of the intervertebral disc system. Two cases of the system vertebrae-implant were analysed which differed in the placement of the artificial disc in the intervertebral space. Within the conducted analysis, the state of displacement, strain and stress of reduced analysed systems and their individual elements was determined. A comparative analysis of the results and calculations was performed, also conclusions and observations were formulated, constituting a starting point for building more advanced calculation models and further analyses of such implants.

Honeycomb core sandwich composite structures gained their popularity in aircraft, aerospace, automotive and naval industries mainly due to their superior flexural stiffness and very low mass, which cause that their application in engineering constructions becomes very attractive. Since they contain core and face sheets made of different materials with different properties their behavior under quasi-static loading is highly nonlinear and the forcedisplacement response contains characteristic zones caused by various mechanical phenomena. The characterization of such behavior under tensile and bending loading as well as characterization of failure mechanisms accompanied with quasi-static loading is the main goal of this paper. Obtained experimental results and their analysis allow for better understanding of occurred phenomena in such structures, which can be helpful during modeling of elements made of such sandwich composites as well as prediction of their behavior under various loading conditions.

Kompozyty przekładkowe z rdzeniem o strukturze plastra miodu zyskały swoją popularność w przemyśle lotniczym, kosmicznym, samochodowym oraz okrętowym głównie dzięki swojej wyjątkowej sztywności oraz bardzo niskiej masie, co spowodowało że ich wykorzystanie w konstrukcjach inżynierskich stało się bardzo atrakcyjne. Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że rdzeń i okładziny wykonane są z różnych materiałów o różnych właściwościach zachowanie tych struktur pod wpływem obciążeń quasi-statycznych jest wysoce nieliniowe, a odpowiedź siła-przemieszczenie zawiera charakterystyczne obszary spowodowane różnymi zjawiskami mechanicznymi. Charakteryzacja takiego zachowania podczas obciążeń rozciągających i zginających oraz mechanizmów zniszczenia towarzyszących obciążeniom quasi-statycznym jest głównym celem tej pracy. Otrzymane wyniki eksperymentalne i ich analiza pozwalają na lepsze zrozumienie zachodzących zjawisk w takich strukturach, co może być przydatne przy modelowaniu elementów wykonanych z kompozytów przekładkowych, jak również predykcji ich zachowania przy różnych warunkach obciążenia.

Stainless steel 316L is one of the most common metallic biomaterials used for implants. Its passive surface provides a good corrosion resistance in the body environment, which can be reduced by surface mechanical damages. This is the reason why the bone screws made of stainless steel 316L were subjected to laboratory analysis in the initial state, after diversified implantation period and after mechanical damage of the surface. The mechanical damages were estimated on the basis of stereoscopic and scanning electron microscope (SEM). In order to estimate the pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, potentiodynamic and potentiostatic examinations were performed. On the basis of obtained results it can be stated that despite the visible damages on the surface, the investigated screws present a good pitting corrosion resistance. However, the way the screws were fastened caused frictional corrosion and existing cavities led to crevice corrosion. Moreover, clear correlation between magnitude of mechanical damages of the surface, implantation time and screws corrosion resistance was observed.

Purpose: The aim of this study was a biomechanical evaluation of the (Dynamic Condylar Screw - DCS) system after epicondyle fractures and a comparison of obtained results of the two alternative biomaterials for the stabilizer. Design/methodology/approach: Models of stabilizer and femur were designed, the discretization was conducted and boundary conditions were set. Numerical analysis with the use of the finite element method was performed in the ANSYS Workbench 15 Software. Two models of system: M-316 LVM (stabilizer with properties CrNiMo steel - femur) and M-Ti64 (stabilizers with properties Ti6Al4V alloys – femur) were subjected to numerical analysis. As a reference point the state of displacement, strain and von Misses stresses by in helfy femur (M-HF) were determined. Findings: For all of the analysed models, the values of assumed mechanical properties of cortical bone and cancellous bone were not exceeded. Simultaneously, it is possible to use alternative biomaterials, CrNiMo steel or Ti6Al4V alloy for DCS system. Research limitations/implications: In order to perform more detailed characteristics of analysed DCS implant, in future research it is expected to carry out macro and microscopic observations for implants removed from the body and their electrochemical evaluation. Practical implications: The analysis allows the determination of potentially dangerous areas, affected to damage due to overloading. Furthermore, the analysis identifies the areas of initiation and development of crevice, pitting and fatigue corrosion. Originality/value: The presented work allows the selection of alternative metallic biomaterials for the manufacturing of the evaluated DCS system and indicates its potentially dangerous area. This work might be interesting for engineers and doctors dealing with the construction of a new forms of implants used in orthopedics.
