    Development of femoral component design geometry by using DMROVAS (design method requiring optimum volume and safety)
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2020) Ozturk, Burak; Erzincanli, Fehmi
    Purpose This study aims to design a femoral component with minimum volume and maximum safety coefficient. Total knee prosthesis is a well-established therapy in arthroplasty applications. And in particular, with respect to damaged or weakened cartilage, new prostheses are being manufactured from bio-materials which are compatible with the human body to replace these damages. A new universal method (design method requiring optimum volume and safety [DMROVAS]) was propounded to find the optimum design parameters of tibial component. Design/methodology/approach The design montage was analyzed via the finite element method (FEM). To ensure the stability of the prosthesis, the maximum stress angle and magnitude of the force on the knee were taken into consideration. In the analysis process, results revealed two different maximum stress areas which were supported by case reports in the literature. Variations of maximum stress, safety factor and weight were revealed by FEM analysis, and ANOVA was used to determine the F force percentage for each of the design parameters. Findings Optimal design parameter levels were chosen for the individual's minimum weight. Stress maps were constructed to optimize design choices that enabled further enhancement of the design models. The safety factor variation (SFV) of 5.73 was obtained for the volume of 39,219 mL for a region which had maximum stress. At the same time, for a maximum SFV and at the same time an average weight, values of 37,308 mL and 5.8 for volume and SFV were attained, respectively, using statistical methods. Originality/value This proposed optimal design development method is new and one that can be used for many biomechanical products and universal industrial designs.

    Reduction of Stress Variations on Sections (ROSVOS) for a Femoral Component
    (Springer, 2021) Ugur, Levent; Ozturk, Burak; Erzincanli, Fehmi
    Total knee prostheses have become established arthroplasty applications in the treatment of damaged or weakened cartilage. New implants are being produced using bio-materials which are compatible with human tissue. In the industry, these prostheses are modeled and manufactured in different design geometries. This study investigated using a novel method for an ideal geometry designed to prevent fracture problems caused by design errors and metallurgical weakness in femoral component geometry. This approach is presented in a flowchart demonstrating its implementation, orientation, and evaluation via finite element analysis. Unlike those in the literature, stress variations in the design surface cross sections were evaluated in this proposed design method, for different design types and angles. In this study, the design surface was divided into eight horizontal and ten vertical sections. The main objective of this study is to minimize the stress variations in these sections and to obtain the lowest possible volume value. As a result, stress exceeding the critical ratio was observed in four sections. In addition, three design parameters were found to be the most important for achieving maximum safety and minimum volume in this femoral component design. The method presented in this study aims to evaluate the ideal geometry of models and selection can be applied for the production of many industrial and biomechanical products.
