Contact problems with friction, adhesion and wear in orthopaedic biomechanics. Part II – Numerical implementation and application to implanted knee joints

The present paper is the second part of the contribution by Rojek and Telega (2001). An alternative adhesion law was used to the study of bone-implant interface. Numerical scheme was developed and applied to the knee joint after arthroplasty. Influence of wear debris on this interface and currently used wear models were investigated.
