DETERMINATION OF RANDOM FRICTION FORCES ON THE BIOLOGICAL SURFACES OF A HUMAN HIP JOINT WITH A PHOSPHOLIPID BILAYER
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2019, Vol 284, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presented concerns a new mathematical form of the stochastic theory of hydrodynamic friction forces occurring on real human hip joint surfaces with a phospholipids bilayer. This paper particularly presents a new review of stochastic analytical considerations realized by the authors for friction forces estimation during hydrodynamic lubrication of biological surfaces performed on the basis of the gap height measurements in the human hip joint. After numerous experimental measurements, it directly follows that the random unsymmetrical increments and decrements of the gap height of human joints have an important influence on the load carrying capacities and finally on the friction forces and wear of cooperating cartilage surfaces. The main topic demonstrates the impact of the variations of expectancy values and the standard deviation of the human joint gap height on the friction forces occurring in the human joint. Moreover, an evident connection is observed between the apparent dynamic viscosity and the features of the cartilage surface coated by the phospholipid cells. Hence, after the abovementioned remarks, follows the corollary that the influence of the gap height stochastic variations and random surfaces coated by the PL cells tend indirectly from the apparent viscosity into the friction force variations. The synthetic, complex elaborations of the results obtained indicate the influence of the random roughness and stochastic growth of living biological cartilage surfaces on the friction forces distribution.<br/><br/>
