Optimum Design for Knee Prosthesis Using Laminated Composite Materials—Stress Transmission Pattern and its Estimation

  • Chapter
Composite Structures 5

Abstract

The purpose of our investigation was to devise a procedure for the optimum design for knee prosthesis (artificial knee joint) using laminated composites. This paper describes the numerical approach to the stress transmission from the tibial component (prosthesis) to the cancellous bone using the finite element method and the usefulness of composite materials for knee prosthesis.
