Abstract

The mechanical characteristics of the interface between a metallic stem and the surrounding poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement were determined from experimental tests and finite element analyses. Push‐through‐stem tests of straight and tapered titanium alloy stems, surrounded by cement columns, were performed and the resulting load‐displacement behavior and strain distribution on the surface of the cement column were measured for loading, unloading, and reloading. Test geometries were modelled using nonlinear, axisymmetric, finite element analyses, which incorporated Coulomb friction elements at the titanium alloy‐cement interface. Initial residual stresses, due to curing of the cement column, were modeled by thermal contraction of the cement. Good agreement was obtained between load‐displacement curves and surface strains predicted from the nonlinear analysis and those obtained from experiments, when a coefficient of friction of 0.3 was assumed for the stem‐cement interface. These results show that, in the absence of chemical adhesion, the load‐displacement behavior of a stem‐cement composite can be described completely in terms of the friction at the interface and the residual stresses normal to the interface.
