Abstract
In the human body, hip joints are important shock absorbing and weight-bearing structures. Individuals suffering from severe arthritis or hip bone fractures are dependent on hip replacement joints. An artificial hip joint consists of a stem, ball, and socket assembly. The stem is implanted in the femur, which is connected to the femoral head that is replaced by the artificial ball, that is placed inside the socket which resembles the acetabulum. In this study, a three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) software, SolidWorks® is used to design the artificial hip joint. The functionality and longevity of the implant greatly depend on the design of the implant. Biocompatible and robust materials are used in the designing process for parts of the hip joint. The model was subjected to finite element analysis, and the stress–strain distribution across the model was estimated for different loads to determine the implant’s endurance. SolidWorks® is used to perform static analysis to determine the optimum implant design. It calculates the characteristics of stress, strain, and displacement in different directions. When von Mises stress values exceed the yield strength of the implant material, it is said to fail. Thus, it is essential to know the stress for implementing a proper implant design.
