## Abstract The wear rate of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene over a long campaign of sliding distance is not constant. Both unfilled and graphite filled polyethylene show a high rate early, which reduces to a low value. The graphiteβfilled product shows a late stage increase in wear
## Abstract The preconditioned stress relaxation behavior of irradiated ultraβhigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a commonly used bearing surface in total joint replacements (TJR), was modelled in uniaxial compression at 37Β°C. Twenty cylindrical specimens (10 mm dia. Γ 27 mm length) were m
