Wear Prediction of UHMWPE Cup Against Commercially Pure Titanium Hip Implant With The Nonlinear Load and Contact Area Wear Equation
Hip implants are prostheses designed for severe hip arthritis patients. One of its components, acetabular cup is mostly made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). This polymer has a wear problem. Its debris would cause osteolysis followed by implant failures. Numerical studies of t...
