This study deals with the effects of interfacial crack and implant material on mixed‐mode
stress intensity factor and prediction of interface failure of the cemented acetabular cup. A …

Finite element analysis (FEA) combined with the concepts of linear elastic fracture
mechanics (LEFM) provides a practical and convenient means to study the fracture and …

Modelling of a crack propagating through a finite element mesh under mixed mode
conditions is of prime importance in fracture mechanics. In this paper, three different crack …

The failure of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) orthopedic cement is considered the most
important problem in total hip arthroplasty and eventual prosthesis loosening. Fiber or …

In orthopedic surgery and in particular in total hip arthroplasty, the implant fixation is carried
out using a surgical cement called polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA). This cement has to …

An explicit analysis conducted on the crack behavior in chirurgical cement (
Polymethylmethacrylate–PMMA) used for Total Hip Prosthesis (THP) is of great importance …

A numerical method for 2D LEFM crack propagation simulation in a cement mantle of the
total hip replacement (THR) is presented. This work is based on the implementation of the …
