Comparison of computationally predicted contact pressures distributed along the edge on the cup rim for the head lateral displacement of 2.0 mm under the loads of 0.5 kN (a) and 3 kN (b), respectively. For the mesh with the element size of 0.0625 mm, the lengths of contact area are approximately 2.7 and 1.4 mm, and the maximum contact pressures are 2374 and 1519 MPa for the loads of 0.5 and 3 kN, respectively).
