Extended FEM analysis of fatigue crack growth in Ti-6Al-4V orthopaedic plates
Abstract
The extended finite element method (xFEM) was used to analyse fatigue crack growth in orthopaedic locking compression plates (LCP), made of Titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, loaded in four-point bending. The optimal geometry was defined previously in respect to the remaining life of LCP used for patients with different body weights (BW - 60, 90 and 120 Kg). The plate with optimal geometry is analysed in more details here to assess the effect of BW and get better insight into fatigue crack growth path.
