Abstract
The numerical modeling makes it possible to prepare FE model of human pelvic bone after reconstruction. It is particular important when the THA operation is performed and the artificial acetabulum is fitted. Very often before and after operations the knowledge of the stress and strain distribution in the pelvic bone is needed. For checking the influence of the forces acting in acetabulum on the stress and strain distribution in the surroundings of the artificial acetabulum a simple bench-mark was proposed, with force acting on acetabulum by steel ball
