Virtual Evaluation of Static Structural Analysis of Non- Manifold Assembly of Femur and Implant
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Engineers apply classical mechanics (statics, dynamics, fluids, solids, thermodynamics, and continuum mechanics) to biological or medical problems. It includes the study of motion, material deformation, flow within the body and in devices, and transport of chemical constituents across biological and synthetic media and membranes. Progress in biomechanics has led to the development of the artificial heart and heart valves, artificial joint replacements, as well as a better understanding of the function of the heart and lung, blood vessels and capillaries, and bone, cartilage, inter-vertebral discs, ligaments and tendons of the musculoskeletal systems. The motivation is in being able to carry out this project to contribute into the orthopedic sector in the areas of pre-surgery, failure analysis, design of prosthesis and hips replacement with the use of finite element modeling. The problem with hip replacement technology is a challenging one and no addition to that effort is a wasted venture. The aim of this work is to carry out virtual Static Structural Analysis on Non Manifold Assembly of Femur and Implant at different body weights using MIMICS and ANSYS softwares for the analysis. Stainless Steel SS316L was used for the implant because of its biocompatibility and strength as stated in literatures. The weights were converted to pressures and were applied on the ball part of the prosthesis. The result obtained showed that the assembly has a good initial stability.
