Here, we describe the mechanical characteristics of elastomeric bearings having different shear stiffness in the two principal inplane directions. The anisotropy is introduced during the vulcanization process by arranging the steel reinforcing plates to form a predefined angle with respect to the ho
## Abstract Modern ceramic bearings used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) consist of a femoral head (ball) articulating inside a hemispherical acetabular cup (socket); the ball and socket are made of alumina (Al~2~O~3~) and Al~2~O~3~‐based composite materials. In the present study, total hip bearing
