Finite element analysis of Ti6Al4V porous structures for low-stiff hip implant application
Solid metallic hip implants have much higher stiffness than the femur bone, causing stress-shielding and subsequent implant loosening. The development of low-stiff implants using metallic porous structures has been reported in the literature. Ti6Al4V alloy is a commonly used biomaterial for hip impl...
