معرفی
Daniel Langohr is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Western University. His expertise lies in solid mechanics with a focus on orthopedic implant design, tribology, and finite element analysis of mechanical and biological structures. Dr. Langohr holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Western University and MASc/BASc degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Waterloo.
- Research Interests: Orthopedic implant tribology, computational and in-vitro wear assessment, finite element modeling of contact mechanics, and bone load transfer analysis.
- Teaching: Courses in Introductory Design and Innovation (ES 1050), Mechanics of Materials (MME 2212), and Engineering Dynamics (MME 2213).
Publications highlight computational and experimental studies on shoulder, wrist, and elbow implants, emphasizing wear testing, stress distribution, and implant geometry optimization. His work addresses clinical challenges like bone atrophy and revision surgery risks through biomechanical analysis.
Students: Mentors graduate students such as R. Willing. His lab utilizes joint simulators for preclinical testing of implants, aligning with projects on in-vitro wear testing, articular contact modeling, and load transfer from implants to bone.
