Fatigue life estimation is one of the vital factors in the design of
biomedical prostheses. But fatigue tests of a hip prosthesis require
over ten million cycles, furthermore experimental methods may be too
expensive and take a long time for material selection or optimization.
Therefore, numerical analyses performed by Finite Elements Methods (FEM)
becomes necessary to pre-estimation of fatigue life. In this study, a
numerical analysis performed by FEM analysis to estimate the fatigue
performance of newly designed hip prosthesis. Prior to experimental
testing processes, aimed to analyze the candidate designs and to
contribute to complete of the verification process in a more efficient,
economical, and fast manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
