Stress analysis in ceramic head of the hip joint endoprosthesis under oblique load

Problem of the stress in the ceramic head of hip joint endoprosthesis pressed on the stem under oblique loading is solved in this paper. Oblique loading simulated the physiologi-cal conditions in vivo. The axis-symmetric production inaccuracies (deflection of nominal degree of taper) of the head - stem conical joint are considered. Computational modelling is realized by FEM - system ANSYS
