Tibia Bone Solid Work HomeWork Design Worksheet & Paper

Overview

Hello again,

You must have SolidWork downloaded and ready to use. stress applications and velocity testing in Solidworks simulation suite and hence.


Please see the attachment for the HomeWork instruction.

We are to model the use of a plating system to stabilize a fractured‐tibia with a 45° cut at its mid‐shaft. There are three components in the illustrated example:

 Fractured tibia with an existing 45° cut (in 2 segments)  A curved titanium plate confirming to the outer surface geometry of the tibia with 4 holes for bone screws  4 bone screws

After the deployment of the plating system, you are to apply 4 load cases and to assess

how the plating system helps to stabilize the fractured‐tibia. Note that the lower end of

the fractured‐tibia is under total constraint.

 Case a 450 N compressive load at the axial direction (~ 0.5 x 70 kg + 11 kg)

 Case b 500 N bending lateral load at y‐direction (causing bending)

 Case c 100 N‐m torsion load (counterclockwise when viewing at negative x‐direction)

 Case d combined load from case a, b, and c
