Numerical simulation of bone-implant systems using a more realistic model of the contact interfaces with adhesion

The aim of the paper is twofold. First, most important notions concerning adhesion are discussed. Modelling of unilateral contact with adhesion between two deformable bodies is studied. The initial boundary value problem for contact with adhesion is discussed, including its regularization. Second, numerical analysis of the behaviour of the femur with implant is studied under quasi-static loading.
