    Stress distribution in a femoral implant with and without bone cement and at different inclination angles
    (Materialpruefung/Materials Testing, 2018-04) Topkaya, Tolga; Solmaz, Murat Yavuz; Turgut, Aydın; Dündar, Serkan; Şanlıtürk, İsmail Hakkı
    The purpose of this study was to investigate numerically the effects of the inclination (collodiaphyseal) angle and bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate) filling on the stress distribution of human femurs and implants after the implementation of a partial endoprotez arthroplasty. Ti6Al4V, which is the most commonly used implant material, was choosen for this study. In the numerical study, solid models of implants and femurs were created using the SolidWorks 2010 package program, then stress analyses were carried out at five different inclination angles, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135° and 140°, with and without bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate), using the ANSYS Workbench 12.0 package program. The anteversion angle was assumed to be 12.5° for all models. As a result of the increase in the inclination angle and the addition of bone cement, it was determined that the stress values of the femurs and implants were reduced. Within the limitations of this study it has been shown that parameters like bone cement, anteversion angle, and an appropriate inclination angle should be tested previous to partial endoprosthesis arthroplasty surgery necessary as a result of damage to the human femur.

    The effects of width on the strength of adhesively bonded Z joints subjected to tensile loads
    (Taylor & Francis, 2012-11-15) Adin, Hamit
    In this study, the effect of the adherend width on the tensile strength and the failure load of Z joints was analyzed both experimentally and numerically using two adhesives with different properties. Atlac™ 580 and Flexsotix™ were used as adhesives, and adherends were prepared with two different composite materials. To identify the mechanical properties of the adhesives, the bulk specimen method was used. Then, the Z joints were prepared using the aforementioned adhesives. The Z joints were subjected to tensile loads in the experiments. The stress analyses were performed using a three-dimensional finite element method (3D FEM). The 3D FEM analyses were performed with ANSYS (10.0). The 3D FEM analyses were performed to investigate the stress distributions in the adhesive layers in the Z joints. The numerical results compared favorably with the experimental results, and were found to be quite reasonable. The results showed that the joint strength increased when the specimen width (b) was increased. To maximize the performance of the joint for either adhesive, b=15mm was found to be the most suitable value for the width.
