Abstract
The development of computational and numerical methods provides the option to study the contact mechanics and wear of hip resurfacing
devices. The importance of these techniques is justified by the extensive amount of testing and experimental work required to
verify and improve current orthopaedic implant devices. As the demands for device longevity is increasing, it is as important as ever to
study techniques for providing much needed orthopaedic hip implant solutions. Through the use of advanced computer aided design and
the finite element method, contact analysis of hip resurfacing devices was carried out by developing both three-dimensional and twodimensional
axisymmetric models whilst considering the effects of loading conditions and material properties on the contact stresses.
Following on from this, the three-dimensional model was used in combination with a unique programme to develop wear simulations and
obtain cumulative wear for both the acetabular cup and femoral head simultaneously.
