Finite Element Modelling of Shock-Induced Damages on Ceramic Hip Prostheses
Figure 16
Evolution of crack probabilities versus the number of shocks, according to flaw size (from 19 to 40 μm) and porosity, (a) 0.1% vol and (b) 0.7% vol; all following parameters are constant, inclination angle of 45°, load of 9 kN and microseparation of 1.3 mm.
