Simulation and Study of Hip Prosthesis Based on Different Common Materials Using Software Modeling

Abstract

The hip joint is unique anatomically and physiologically, so a lot of problems may appear through its structure lead to damage. In this study, a 2D/3D model of the hip joint was implemented using a Software platform (SolidWorks Program) to study the behavior of the most common compatible materials that may use to design a hip joint (Ti-6-Al4V, Al2O3, and Cr-Co-Mo alloys) under specific load applied (261.6 N) to compare the behavior of the materials based on stress, strain, and displacement response. The stability of the model was observed and verified by static test and the materials have been applied one by one, the results showed that the use of Al2O3 as a material of femoral head presents higher stress values compared to use Cr-Co-Mo or Ti-6-Al4V alloy, according to strain and displacement, Al2O3 gave the lowest values compared to the rest of the alloys.
