PDE2900 Finite Element Project Description
- Subject Code :
PDE2900
Assignment:
- To carry out biomechanical analysis of a hip implant using the finite element method.
Task:
- To design a FEA study of a hip stem based off the femur bone which is available in Unihub.
- To construct finite element models for the designed implant fitted into the femur bone.
- To evaluate design parameters of the hip implant with different stem materials based on the
FE predictions (Titanium Alloy vs Co-Cr). - To conduct a biomechanical analysis: the effect of implant material on the biomechanics of
the femur (Titanium Alloy vs Co-Cr).
