Mathematical Development of a Novel Discrete Hip Deformation Algorithm for the In Silico Elasto-Hydrodynamic Lubrication Modelling of Total Hip Replacements

In this paper, the procedure to achieve an accurate deformation model of a total hip replacement (THR) was proposed with the aim to obtain a numerical tool to be simply merged into THR elasto-hydrodynamic computational synovial lubrication algorithms. The approach was based on the Finite Element Met...
