Computational model of asperity contact for the prediction of mechanical and wear behaviour in total joint replacements
The effect of sliding friction on the size of yielding region in the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene asperity in contact with metal was investigated. The main objective of this work was to gain an understanding of wear particle generation mechanism from the two-dimensional finite element mo...
