The Biomechanical Effect of Loading Speed on Metal-on-UHMWPE Contact Mechanics
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a material commonly used in total hip and knee joint replacements. Numerous studies have assessed the effect of its viscoelastic properties on phenomena such as creep, stress relaxation, and tensile stress. However, these investigations either use...
