| dc.description.abstract | Acrylic bone cement, used to fixate several forms of orthopaedic joint replacement prosthesis, has a variable fatigue resistance arising mainly from porosity. It is argued that deterministic modelling assumptions of homogeneous cement with constant fatigue strength lead to unrealistic conclusions regarding bone cement failure and
that physical sources of variability should be included to better understand cement damage accumulation. | |
