Dynamic Answer of a Human Ankle Joint Implant

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper addresses to a research of a dynamic answer obtained through numerical simulations of a human ankle joint implant with finite element method. The research background consists of an inverse dynamic analysis based on Newton-Euler formalism completed with Lagrange’s multipliers method. Thus, a parameterized virtual model of a human ankle joint was elaborated and simulated together with the implant, in dynamic conditions similar with real ones in reality. A results numerical processing was obtained with the aid of MSC Nastran and important results were obtained for orthopedic implants design.
