Novel Dragonfly-assisted Black Widow Optimization Strategy to Enhance Si3N4 Wear Performance
Abstract:Rebuilding injured joints with appropriate substitute materials is an important requirement for treating individuals with arthritis. Aseptic loosening is a major problem due to the wear particle production that occurs during movement in artificial joints. Finding materials with the least amount of wear volume loss is the goal of biotribology research to increase joint longevity. One ceramic material that shows promise as a substitute for hip and knee replacements is silicon nitride (Si3N4). As a solid lubrican… Show more
