[ 1 ] - The axisymmetric computational study of a femoral component to analysis the effect of titanium alloy and diameter variation.

This work presents a numerical approach in order to predict the influence of implant material stiffness in a femoral component design when submitted in compression. The implant success depends on the transferred load to the neighboring bone. The finite element method can be used to analysis the stress and strain distribution in the femoral component allowing to improve the implant selection. Fo...
