BIOCERAMICS FOR BONE REPAIR (BIOBONE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

"There is a general consensus that ceramic based materials should play a very important role in the development of new therapies to treat and substitute damaged or diseased bone. Due to their resistance to wear and corrosion, bioinert technical ceramics are the ideal candidates to replace metallic alloys in a new generation of small, durable and safe orthopaedic implants. On the other hand, osteoc ...

High Temperature Pipe Structural Health Monitoring System utilising Phased Array probes on TOFD configuration (HOTPHASEDARRAY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Uncertainties in the calculation of the lifetime of superheated steam pipes in power plants that contain a minor defect create situations with potentially catastrophic results, typically costing €120 million per event. Superheated steam pipes are periodically inspected and depending on their defects sizes they may be replaced after a lifetime assessment has been performed. Common errors in defect ...

Enhanced Durability Resurfacing Endoprosthesis (EnDuRE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Each year in Europe there are:- • 800000 hip operations costing approximately €1,942 per/implant, worth over €1.5 billion • Hip implant operations are rising by approximately 15%. • Currently 10% of all the prosthesis implanted are in patients under 55 years of age of which 33% of these will fail within 16 years with a further 20% of implant fitted to over 55’s failing with in 20 years requiring r ...
