Predicting wear of UHMWPE: decreasing wear rate following a change in direction
Computational tools are emerging as design tools for the development of total joint replacement with improved wear performance. The current wear models of polyethylene assume that wear is linearly proportional to sliding distance; however, it is hypothesized that the wear rate varies and is higher n...
