Numerical simulations on fatigue destruction of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene using discrete element analyses

Abstract: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a heterogeneous material composed of a networked substructure of grain boundary and grain aggregation. A new numerical model based on the discrete element method (DEM) was proposed to examine microscopic defect formation and propagation in UHMWPE. Numerical simulations were carried out using this model under two types of loading condition: unidirectional repetitive compression (simple loading) and bidirectional repetitive compression (switched loading).

“…When it was developed, the main function of the DEM was to act as a tool to perform research to help with understanding the behavior of granular materials. However, it has been used recently in biomechanics, petrochemical engineering, fluid mechanics, and different structural engineering applications in which particle models were used to simulate material behavior in real engineering problems that involve complicated deformation patterns (Shibata et al 2003;Goda and Ebert 2005;Mas Ivars 2006;Mahmoud et al 2010;Jinag et al 2010;Lau et al 2011;Krabbenhoft et al 2012;Abraham et al 2013;Nakamura et al 2013).…”
