An engineer is designing a total hip implant. She intends to make the femoral stem out of titanium because it forms a good inter

face with bone. However, since titanium does not have optimum wear properties she intends to make the ball component out of stainless steel and attach it to the stem using a press fit. Should she be worried about corrosion? If so, what types of corrosion could take place?

Answer:

1. Yes.

2. Localized corrosion

Explanation:

Should she be worried about corrosion?

Yes, the engineer needs to be worried about corrosion as stainless steel has a lower resistance to corrosion, in other words, stainless steel corrodes faster than Titanium.

If so, what types of corrosion could take place?

The type of corrosion that takes place is called Localized corrosion. Localized corrosion occurs when a small part of a component experiences corrosion. In this case, the ball component of the femoral stem is made of stainless steel which will corrode faster than the other parts of the femoral stem which is made of Titanium.

Ti-6Al-4V has a fracture toughness of 74.6 MPa-m0.5. How much stress (in MPa) would it take to fail a plate loaded in tension th
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

critical stress  = 595 MPa

Explanation:

given data

fracture toughness =  74.6 MPa-\sqrt{m}

crack length = 10 mm

f = 1

solution

we know crack length = 10 mm  

and crack length = 2a as given in figure attach

so 2a = 10

a = 5 mm

and now we get here with the help of plane strain condition , critical stress is express as

critical stress  = \frac{k}{f\sqrt{\pi a}}    ......................1

put here value and we get

critical stress  = \frac{74.6}{1\sqrt{\pi 5\times 10^{-3}}}

critical stress  = 595 MPa

so here stress is change by plane strain condition because when plate become thinner than condition change by plane strain to plain stress.

plain stress condition occur in thin body where stress through thickness not vary by the thinner section.
