A Finite Element Analysis Of Tibial Stem Geometry For Total Knee Replacements, Aaron Isidro Bautista
A Finite Element Analysis Of Tibial Stem Geometry For Total Knee Replacements, Aaron Isidro Bautista
Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of tibial stem geometry on stress shielding of the tibia for patients with a total knee replacement. Finite element analysis was used to study different tibial stem geometry types, as well as a vast array of different geometric sizes. Both a peg and stem type geometry were analyzed and compared in order to determine what type geometry causes the least amount of stress shielding. A static loading condition with a dynamic loading factor of three was used for the system and the stress responses were analyzed at regions of interest …
Computational Finite Element Analysis Of Extreme Loading Response Of Structural Insulated Panel (Sip) Building Subsystems, Kimberly Anne Tanner
Computational Finite Element Analysis Of Extreme Loading Response Of Structural Insulated Panel (Sip) Building Subsystems, Kimberly Anne Tanner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the reconstruction after Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (mema) investigated of the possibility of utilizing structural insulated panel (sip) construction for hurricane "cottages" that would be resistant to a category 3 hurricane through a joint project with a local architect, Bruce Tolar, and FMS Engineering, LLC, Mobile, Alabama. The connections between the sip panels, including a cam-locking device comto sip panel construction, were identified as vulnerable under high velocity wind loads. At that time, there were no published guidelines for performing a computational finite element analysis of the sip system, and thus it was not possible to …
