Free body diagram is drawn to compute the various forces and torques acting on hip joint. The FEA models for hip joint and acetabular cup are drawn with the help of CT Scan reports. The stress distribution and deformations are then obtained by using finite element analysis. Contact stresses, contact area radius and maximum pressure are obtained. Modeling of the hip joint and acetabular cup was done and stress distribution was also determined. Since the thigh bone is slender, it was analyzed both manually and through software for buckling. This analysis is performed in order to predict the failure of bones in the hip joint.
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.
