The radiological migration of cups was measured by the computer-assisted EBRA method. A number of threshold migration rates from 1 mm in the first year to 1 mm in five years have been assessed and related to clinically determined ...

Fukui’s conical cup test is the one of the formability characteristics evaluation for various sheet metals. The formability characteristics such as diametrical ratio, maximum drawing load, depth of cup up to fracture are to be evaluated. This test is related to drawing test. This test can be performed by using parameters such as friction, process parameters and without blank holder. In fukui’s ...
