Effect of dynamic loading versus static loading on the frictional behavior of a UHMWPE pin in artificial biolubricants
To obtain reliable results from in vitro measurements on the tribological behavior of joint implant materials, the parameters of the measurements must simulate in vivo conditions. Although the nature of the load in human joints is dynamic, most of the studies using simple pin-on-disk tribometers wer...
