The relative fatigue crack propagation resistance of plain and carbon fiber-reinforced ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was determined from cyclic loading tests performed on compact tension specimens machined from the tibia1 components of total knee prostheses. Both materials were ch
In this paper, the cyclic fatigue and fracture behavior of a gamma-titanium aluminide intermetallic is examined. Specimens of the intermetallic were cyclically deformed under fully-reversed, total strain-amplitude control loading at two different strain amplitudes. The observed stress response chara
## Abstract Fatigue‐related damage in UHMWPE is one of the main causes of long‐term failure in total joint replacements. Crosslinking ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) by gamma or electron‐beam irradiation, in combination with prior or further thermal treatment, enhances its wear res
