contents Contact mechanics models that can accurately estimate the contact conditions and, consequently predict wear must be developed for hip implants. This study analyses and verifies the existing Hertz and Fang analytical models applicable to hard-on-hard hip implants. The contact parameters, such as the maximum contact pressure, contact radius and the maximum deformation, are considered for the validation with FEM. Both analytical models fail to predict the contact conditions throughout a gait cycle. A novel data-driven ANN model is developed to comprehensively predict the contact conditions considering different input parameters. The analysis shows that cup thickness significantly affects the output contact conditions. Therefore, it is recommended to consider cup thickness in the analytical model interpretation for hard-on-hard hip implants.
