Abstract
A mathematical analysis of the effects of rotation in the lubrication mechanism of hip joints including the porous nature of the cartilage is presented. The exact solution for pressure in the lubricant region is obtained for a short porous journal bearing which represents a simplified model of the hip joint. The load capacity of the joint increases as the rotation parameter increases, indicating that rotation aids the normal functioning of the joint. The results support experimental observations.
