Abstract

Finite element method (FEM) was implemented to investigate the peak load effects in the modeled artificial hip joint. Materials considered were ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), titanium, and stainless steel. The stress distribution and deformation due to the standing stance, normal walking, and downstairs descending were investigated by considering the peak loads from gait cycle. Two different joint models (model A and model B) with metal backing were developed, and the comparison is made between them. From this work, it is identified that the peak stress in standing stance is 5% lesser for model A than model B. But in the case of normal walking and downstair activity, model B showed lesser stress value. Through the stress and deformation observed in the analysis, the influence of metal backing is investigated and reported.
