Some phenomenological wear models exist, but they are most of the time used to post-process numerical simulations. In certain situations however, material loss may be sufficient to change the contact area, contact stresses. In such cases, coupling the wear loss estimation to the mechanical contact m

## Abstract The two systems for artificial hip joints in use at present are metalβonβmetal and metalβonβplastic. There are many variables affecting friction and wear, which include diameter, sphericity, relative geometry of the components, and surface roughness. Tests in a simulating machine incorp
Various formulas have been proposed to calculate the volume of prosthetic wear from the penetration depth of the head as assessed on plain radiographs, based on idealized, three-dimensional geometrical models of a prosthetic hip. However, for most published formulas no (or no simple) derivation is a
