Abstract

Today, artificial implants (AI) industry depends strongly on tribological constitution of the material (s) of the implant. Erosion, corrosion, tribocorrosion and biocorrosion are essential factors to determine both functionality and lifetime of the AIs. Histo-Biocompatibility is also an additional constraint, indispensable for implant manufacturing process. The prediction of durability, based on the computational and experimental study of constituents of AI material (s) are key factors to obtain objective data of any AI characteristics. This contribution deals with a computational comparative analysis of materials for hip implants using Archard’s model mainly. Selected hip implant material hardness are Co-Cr alloy and Titanium types. Method is carried out with specific material data, e.g., hardness or wear constants, nonlinear optimization and graphical subroutines. Results presented are both numerical and graphical. Particular interest is focused on application of the 3D Graphical Optimization method.
