Finite element analysis of the effect of shape memory alloy on the stress distribution and contact pressure in total knee replacement
As a step towards developing a biomaterial for femoral component of total knee replacement, the goals of this study were to introduce NiTi shape memory alloy as a promising material for orthopedic implant and to evaluate the effect of different material properties on contact behavior of the joint an...
