Abstract
Basic principles of engineering tribology are briefly reviewed, in terms of surface metrology, contact mechanics, friction, lubrication and wear. In each of these topics, applications to artificial hip joints are discussed in detail. Various artificial hip joints with different bearing material combinations are considered, including ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene against metal or ceramic, metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-ceramic.
