The rationale behind failure of cemented total hip replacement is still far from being well understood in a mechanical and molecular perspective. In the present study, the integrity of the stem–cement interface was investigated through an in vitro experiment monitoring fluid flow along this interface. The results indicated that a good mechanical bonding formed at the stem–cement interface before debonding of this interface was induced by physiological loadings during the in vivo service of the hip prosthesis.

This paper reports an experimental investigation for fluid flow past a circular cylinder with two small rectangular strips and single sharp-edge strips on its surface. The experimental results reflected that different arrangements or dimensions of the strips produced significantly different effects on the flow. The forward step caused a stronger disturbance with a small increase in drag. The backward step arrangement softened the disturbance but reduced the drag coefficient by 33%.
