Abstract
Polymethyl methacrylate bone cement is tested at the Institute of Fracture and Solid Mechanics Laboratory, Lehigh University. Standard tensile coupon and compact tension specimens are molded under varying conditions of temperature and pressure. Test results are obtained for the strength and toughness of bone cement involved in total hip replacement operations.Keywords
