Experimental validation of numerically predicted strain and micromotion in intact and implanted composite hemi-pelvises

The failure mechanisms of acetabular prostheses may be investigated by understanding the changes in load transfer due to implantation, and analysis of the implant-bone micromotion. Computational finite element (FE) models allow detailed mechanical analysis of the implant-bone structure, but their va...
