Abstract
Traditionally, engineers are trained to deliver products, projects, or services to fit some specified requirements. They work to a required performance and quality, within a given time and budget. This is despite the fact that these decisions may require not only an understanding of the engineering possibilities, but also knowledge of and experience with potential environmental and social consequences.

How do you propose to analyze the stress and strain of a modular-type hip prosthesis? Assume a suitable dimension from any modular-type hip prosthesis. (This is described in Sect. 3.4 of this chapter.)

2.
Animal hip joint prostheses are in demand in these days. How one can approach the design of a (1) dog hip prosthesis and (2) a horse hip prosthesis? Consider the dynamic effect of the movement of these animals. In fact, one student, Sandip Bag, wrote a thesis on the canine hip under the guidance of this author, in 2006. (Hint: UHMWPE & Ceramic composite).
