## Abstract The hip is a ball and socket joint designed to bear the body mass as well as for facilitating the movement in many directions. Hip replacement is an operation to replace a natural hip joint with an artificial one. The aim of the present work is to conduct a parametric study that compris

โฆ Synopsis
A hip replacement system is analysed with respect to its susceptibility to friction induced vibrations under laboratory conditions and in a pseudo-in vivo setup. The method of complex eigenvalue extraction within the framework of finite-element modelling and analysis is used to identify the geometric properties and system parameters that might lead to unstable sliding states. The approach presented reveals negatively damped eigenmodes for both the pseudoin vivo setup and the not-implanted system under laboratory conditions without boundary conditions.

The pseudojoint cavity formed in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) is later remodeled to synovial membrane-like tissue, which produces pseudosynovial fluid. This pseudosynovium also is an important source of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). As it is widely speculated that synovial fl
A stability analysis of friction-induced vibrations is presented considering a multi-degreeof-freedom system. Stability analysis based on the linearized model of the system was used to predict the system response, qualitatively describing bifurcations associated with the crossover of the system pole
