Abstract
Zirconia is known as a bioceramic having properties which could make it a
substitute material in prosthesis manufacturing field, in the other hand it
presents a weak fracture toughness which is the main disadvantage. This
work aims to analyze the mechanical behavior of a pre-cracked cup of a
total hip prosthesis in severe circumstances by using numerical simulation.
ABAQUS-6.8 as a numerical simulation software was used. It is assumed
that the prosthesis was implanted in an adult subject under an excessive
load. The obtained results were satisfied.
