The paper presents mathematic-statistic methods defining the influence of stress on ceramic elements’ durability of hip and knee joints endoprostheses. The tests were conducted with Finite Elements Method in the ADINA System. The obtained results state the influence of load on the values of durability and stress, that get formed in ceramic parts of joints, and help to detect and solve technical problems and thus, counteract the subsequent effects resulting from premature wear of endoprosthesis elements. The paper emphasizes necessity of discovering new materials, that will be bio-compliant and wear resistant. Although ceramic materials like Al2O3, ZrO2, are brittle and less resistant to load than metallic implants, their improving mechanical parameters (excellent tribological properties), make them becoming new standard in biomaterials for clinical use. That opens new possibilities especially for hip or knee joints alloplasty.

The paper presents Finite Elements Method numerical analysis of strength of friction pairs most often used in hip and knee joints alloplasty. Analytic solutions are to indicate and define the areas where damages or premature wear of cooperating elements may occur. Analytical-experimental research states complete and thorough analysis. Accurate technical simulation of the joints of the human motor system, is difficult to conduct due to high level of complexity of human bio-bearings. All attempts to simulate the work of human joints, lead only to an approximate reflection of real human joint motion. To properly face the above problems, along with numerical analysis, there have been conducted empirical tests on the simulator of knee joint endoprosthesis

The paper presents analysis of influence of change of physical parameters such as: temperature, friction coefficient and load, during the process of die forging. Optimization of the process effects in achieving high quality products, decreasing shaping resistance, and what follows – lower energy consumption. Temperature is the basic factor affecting the process of plastic working. Analyzing that influence in individual die fragments, allows to engineer the flow of shaped material. The QForm3D commercial program for finite element method calculations was used for numerical simulations. The paper presents multi-variant analysis of forging process with the usage of numerical simulation, which provided many valuable information concerning changes of key parameters, such as: temperature, stress and strain distribution and variations of technological parameters, as well as their mutual influence, difficult to obtain in analysis of industrial process.
