Composite hip prosthesis design .1. Analysis
JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH
1998; 39 (1): 92-101
Abstract
An investigation was performed to study the mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced composite hip prostheses in a femur. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of fiber orientation of a composite femoral implant on the response of the surrounding femoral bone. A three-dimensional finite element analysis was developed for analyzing a composite implant in the femur. A three-dimensional composite element was proposed to take into account ply drop-off due to a change of cross-section of the composite implant. The element could accommodate multidirectional layers and tapered composites. The material properties of the composite were treated as anisotropic and inhomogeneous while the properties of femoral bone were treated as anisotropic and homogenous. All the materials were assumed to behave linear-elastically. The thermoplastic graphite/PEEK material system was selected for the study. In this presentation, as the first part of the study, the development of the finite element analysis will be described. Numerical calculations were generated and compared with existing data and numerical results available from studies related to metal hip prostheses in the literature. Experiments on the composite hip implants were also conducted for further verification of the analysis and the computer simulations. In Part II, using the finite element code, an extensive study was performed to evaluate the stress/strain distributions, micromotions, and strain-energy density of the surrounding femoral bone, which have been related to initial fixation and long-term stability of the prosthesis in a femoral bone. Numerous fiber orientations were studied, and results of the calculations were compared with those generated by the prosthesis made of cobalt alloy and titanium alloy.

STIFFNESS AND STRENGTH TAILORING OF A HIP-PROSTHESIS MADE OF ADVANCED COMPOSITE-MATERIALS
JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL MATERIALS RESEARCH

Abstract
This work is concerned with the design of hip prostheses using advanced fiber reinforced composite materials. The major focus of the study is to evaluate how the stiffness and strength of composite hip prostheses can be affected by variations in ply orientation and stacking sequence for a selected manufacturing method. This investigation involved both analytical and experimental work. An analytical model was developed which consists of a stress analysis and a failure analysis. A finite element program was developed during the course of the investigation for analyzing stresses, strains, and deformations of composite stems with a simplified configuration. Failure and mode of failure were predicted by appropriately selected failure criteria. Experiments were also performed on T300/976 graphite/epoxy composites to verify the analysis and the computer calculations. Both testing and analysis accounted for the various combinations of in-plane and out-of-plane (torsion) loading that can act on the prosthetic hip. Simplified composite stems with a 120 layer thickness were fabricated and tested. An excellent agreement was found between the measured strain data and the numerical calculations. Using the program, parametric studies were performed. It was found that an optimal design of hip stems can be achieved by using advanced fiber-reinforced composite materials, but great care must be taken when selecting the appropriate ply orientation and stacking sequence for a chosen fabrication method.
