ABSTRACT
A numerical method for 2D LEFM crack propagation simulation in a cement mantle of the
total hip replacement (THR) is presented. This work is based on the implementation of the
displacement correlation technique (DCT) and the maximum circumferential stress (MCS)
theory in a finite element code, using the Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL).
At each crack increment length, the crack direction angle is evaluated as a function of
stress intensity factors (SIFs). The crack box technique is investigated for crack propagation
simulation. The advantage of this technique is facilitation of the automatic remeshing of
the structure during crack extension. In this paper, we analyzed the mechanical behavior of
cracks initiated in the cement mantle by evaluating the SIFs. The effect of the cavities and
the initial crack directions on the crack growth path has been highlighted.
