Prosthesis (Knee)
A knee prosthesis is an artificial device replacing a missing or injured part of the knee joint.
About this material
A knee prosthesis is an artificial device replacing a missing or injured part of the knee joint. Mechanical characterization of the knee prosthesis is crucial to assess the performance of the device including fatigue, wear, static load and contact stress analysis.
Mechanical testing applications
Mechanical testing is also useful to evaluate the induced wear patterns on the opposing articular surfaces.

FAQ
What is Young's modulus E?
Intrinsic mechanical property of a material independent of its geometry. From the slope of the stress vs. strain graph during an unconfined compression and considering the geometry of the sample, we can calculate the Young's modulus.
