Simulation and Analysis of Artificial Hip Joint Using Software Modeling

Abstract

In this study a 2D/3D CAD model of an artificial hip joint was designed using SolidWorks software program. Biocompatible and robust enough materials such as Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V and Alumina ceramic Al <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> O <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> were used in the designing process for such parts of the hip joint. The finite element (FE) method was used to obtain a solution for the stress and strain distribution throughout series of adjacent elements, further the design was analyzed using computeraided engineering (CAE) software after it was loaded with static loads 250N, 350N, and 450N respectively to check the durability of the design. The stability of the model was verified by static test.
