Journal Article
Xu, W., Ogrodnik, P., Li, B., Zhang, H., & Gao, S. (2015). Effect of journal out-of-roundness on stability of a symmetric hydrodynamic journal bearing system. Part 1: Theoretical analysis. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, 229(11), 1347-1358. https://doi.org/10.1177/1350650115579211

The study examines the effect of journal out-of-roundness on the dynamic performance of rotating machines supported by oil film bearings. A general model of a symmetric hydrodynamic journal bearing system allowing for journal out-of-roundness is pres...

A multidirectional fracture stiffness model to determine the principal stiffness properties of a healing human tibia (2013)
Journal Article
Ogrodnik, P. J., Thomas, P. B., Moorcroft, C. I., & Mohammed, K. N. (2013). A multidirectional fracture stiffness model to determine the principal stiffness properties of a healing human tibia. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 227(10), 1125-1134. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411913495789

A model for the stiffness of a fractured human tibia has been developed. The model is based on Mohr’s circle of inertia and relies on tibial fracture stiffness being measured in a number of planes. Using in vitro data, it has been shown that this mod... Read More about A multidirectional fracture stiffness model to determine the principal stiffness properties of a healing human tibia.

The Effects of Laser Marking and Symbol Etching on the Fatigue Life of Medical Devices (2013)
Journal Article
Ogrodnik, P. J., Moorcroft, C. I., & Wardle, P. (2013). The Effects of Laser Marking and Symbol Etching on the Fatigue Life of Medical Devices. Journal of Medical Engineering, 2013, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1155/2013/570354

This paper examines the question;“ does permanent laser marking affect the mechanical performance of a metallic medical component?” The literature review revealed the surprising fact that very little has been presented or studied even though intuitio...
