As the stiffness of the material goes down the contact area at the articulation increases and the associated pressure increase (Hertzian contact equation). I've tested this experimentally in the lab with cadaver specimens and so I have an idea of what the results look like. Currently, I am...
Hello Everyone,
I am a Graduate student in Mechanical Engineering and need some help with Abaqus FEA.
I am running a study which is rather simple. I am applying a load to an implant in contact with bone and would like to measure the contact area and pressure experienced at the articulation...
