Summary of Test Method:<br />
This test method is used to evaluate the fricti<strong>on</strong> and wear properties of combinati<strong>on</strong>s of materials that are<br />
being c<strong>on</strong>sidered for use as the bearing surfaces of human total joint replacement prostheses. The test method<br />
utilizes a flat-ended polymer cylinder upper specimen and a flat stainless steel lower counterface that is<br />
immersed in bovine blood serum. The load is applied downward <strong>on</strong>to the cylinder specimen. The flat lower<br />
specimen slides linearly, back and forth under the cylinder specimen. The test parameters are listed below.<br />
Test Parameters<br />
Lubricant Temperature Applied Load Stroke Length Osc. Frequency Durati<strong>on</strong><br />
Bovine blood serum 37º C 225 N 1 inch 1.0 Hz 70 hrs.<br />
Polymer Specimen: length 13 mm, diameter 9 mm.<br />
Counterface surface finish: 0.026 to 0.05 µm.<br />

Wear is reported as volume loss of the polymeric specimen as a functi<strong>on</strong> of sliding distance. Volume loss is<br />
determined by dividing the measured weight loss by the density of the polymer.<br />
The UMT allows for m<strong>on</strong>itoring during the test the actual dynamic normal load, fricti<strong>on</strong> force and fricti<strong>on</strong><br />
coefficient, and depth of wear. Opti<strong>on</strong>ally, it can measure additi<strong>on</strong>al parameters of c<strong>on</strong>tact acoustic emissi<strong>on</strong><br />
and temperature.<br />

UMT Software Test Setup:<br />
UMT Opti<strong>on</strong>s File:<br />
Load the opti<strong>on</strong>s file which c<strong>on</strong>tains settings for the Linear <str<strong>on</strong>g>Recip</str<strong>on</strong>g>rocating Moti<strong>on</strong> drive and the 500 N force/load<br />
sensor.<br />
Test Sequence:<br />
The Test Sequence should c<strong>on</strong>sist of 2 sheets.<br />
Sheet 1 is for settling time for the carriage to establish the initial normal load.<br />
Carriage - applies a 225 N C<strong>on</strong>stant Force for a Durati<strong>on</strong> of 10 sec.<br />
Spindle Velocity is 0 revs/min.<br />
Slider is idle.<br />
Sheet 2 is for the actual sliding test.<br />
Carriage - applies a 225 N C<strong>on</strong>stant Force for a Durati<strong>on</strong> of 70 hours.<br />
Spindle Velocity is 60 revs/min, Move-C<strong>on</strong>tinuous, and Directi<strong>on</strong>- Clockwise<br />
Slider is idle.<br />

Use the Viewer program to plot test results.<br />
Select the parameters to be displayed by checking<br />
the appropriate box under Parameters <strong>on</strong> the Viewer screen.<br />
For viewing COF plots of reciprocating tests check the Fz box, click <strong>on</strong> the Symmetry butt<strong>on</strong>, click <strong>on</strong> the Peak Detect<br />
butt<strong>on</strong>, and then check the COF box.<br />
Multiple test results can be viewed at the same time as in the example below.<br />
