## Abstract After total hip arthroplasty (THA), polyethylene acetabular liner creep occurs quickly and serves to increases headβliner contact area and decrease contact pressures. What effect these early changes in contact mechanics will have on the wear behavior of the articulation remains unclear,

The wear of nonirradiated ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was studied with a circularly translating pin-on-disk (CTPOD) device. With this simple device, the wear of the acetabular cup is simulated. Two shapes of a polyethylene pin were used: flat wear faces of 3.0 and 8.9 mm in dia
The idea of this monograph is to present the latest results related to design and computation of engineering materials and structures. The contributions cover the classical fields of mechanical, civil and materials engineering up to biomechanics and advanced materials processing and optimization. Th
