Original Abstract

At present, the problems of reliability of ceramic femoral heads for hip joint endoprosthesis are topical, as in a not negligible number of patients their destruction in vivo had taken place. Therefore stress and reliability analyses of the ceramic heads were made using computational modelling aimed at finding the causes of the head destruction. The deformation and stresses are obtained by computational methods under testing conditions, in accordance with ISO 7206-5. Head reliability is based on the Weibull weakest link theory. The head's stress and reliability are significantly influenced by manufacturing inaccuracies of the cone contact areas. The considered manufacturing inaccuracies are modelled as axisymmetric or 3D. The effects of manufacturing inaccuracies on the head's hoop stresses along the contact taper are analysed in detail. Finally, the effect of the mentioned manufacturing inaccuracies on the head's failure probability during the loading is shown.
