Three-Dimensional Modeling of Femoral Bone of Human Body and its Failure Analysis for Hip Resurfacing

摘要

In today's world, the interdisciplinary approach has accelerated the engineers towards a rapid and challenging innovation of new technologies as well as inventions. Bio-Medical Implant Design is also an outcome invention of Mechanical Engineering and Medical Science collaboration. There are similarities between the two disciplines and there are differences, but there is no doubt the cooperation between them has produced excellent results. The possibility of using the provided data, practically and accurately, to obtain geometric information of body structures and generate easily three-dimensional models is becoming very important. Such efforts has been made in this paper to generate the 3-D model of Femoral bone using Pro-E and then, study its behavior with different load conditions in Pro-Mechanica (FEA). The material considered for the modeling of the Hip Resurfacing Implant is Titanium alloy for its best bio-compatible properties and its versatile use in medical implant manufacturing. Results, for stress magnitude has been analyzed to study the behavior of the bone as the implant comes under the loading of human body weight. It has been concluded that further work of biocompatible design and analysis can be achieved with great level of confidence.
