Medical prosthetic implants, such as hip replacements, are, at present, made of metals such as stainless steel or titanium. Thes

e metals are much stiffer than the bone, giving poor transfer of load into the bone. New composite materials aim for closer stiffness match. One uses a matrix of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with particulate hydroxyapatite (HA), the natural mineral in bone. Data for experimental composites are listed below. Thoseforbone andforthebulk materialsinthecomposite are: bone,7 GPa; HDPE, 0.65 GPa; hydroxyapatite, 80 GPa. (a) Plot the upper and lower bounds for the Young’s modulus of HDPEeHA composites against the volume fraction of reinforcement, f (from 0 to 1), together with the experimental data. (b) Which of the bounds is closer to the data for the particulate composite? Usethisboundasaguidetoextrapolatetheexperimentaldatato findthe volume fraction of hydroxyapatite needed to match the modulus of bone. Is this practical?
