Effects of UHMWPE viscoelasticity on the squeeze‐film lubrication of hip replacements

Abstract Many studies have been performed to analyse the lubrication of artificial joints since the pioneer work by the late Professor Duncan Dowson. However, the viscoelastic deformation of one of the most widely used bearing materials, ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), has only be...
