Encoding Scratch and Scrape Features for Wear Modeling of Total Joint Replacements

Damage to hard bearing surfaces of total joint replacement components typically includes both thin discrete scratches and broader areas of more diffuse scraping. Traditional surface metrology parameters such as average roughness or peak asperity height are not well suited to quantifying those coun...
