Applied Mechanics Division Banquet, Tuesday, 7 November 2017

It is a great honor for me to receive the Timoshenko Medal. In particular I am very impressed when I look at the names of those who got it before me. Many thanks to those who have nominated me, and to those who have selected me for this honor.

FEA of the Tibial Post of a Knee Prosthesis

Submitted by Simpleware on

Tibial post failure has been reported in several retrieval studies for knee surgeries using posterior-stabilized (PS) prostheses. Fractures of the tibial post are considered to be caused by high stress-induced destruction (bending and tensile forces). The design of polyethylene inserts requires a certain level of plastic deformation to take place without the risk of deformation. The design of the tibial post varies markedly among manufacturers.
