Researchers at Southwest Research Institute investigate failure mechanisms in biomedical implants and medical equipment.

The complex interactions of stress, friction, wear, and biochemical attack that occur in the human body and in the environment can cause device failures.

 

Researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) investigate failure mechanisms in biomedical implants and medical equipment.

 

Component and system-level nondestructive and destructive failure analyses are performed routinely at SwRI.
