Loads and conditions by modelling a human hip joint

Loads and conditions by modelling a human hip joint

Loads and conditions by modelling a human hip joint

(OP)
By modelling a human hip joint (cae ansys/ abaqus) i need to consider loads and
(bound conditions).
One load is the own human weight , which is clear.
But which loads do i have to consider too and where do i have to put them in the geometry?

Many thanx for helping

RE: Loads and conditions by modelling a human hip joint

It really depends on the purpose and desired accuracy of the model.  CG load and fixed constraint on the distal end of the femur is one limit.  You may want to consider some of the muscular forces and ligaments.  This is the art of having the simplest model that achieves the desired accuracy.  I am sure that similar studies have been performed in the past and that a literature search would provide a great deal of insight.  I hope this helps.

thank you very much.
The next problem is how big are the forces (N/ m2) of the muscles which act omn thr hip joint.
I can not find it in google :(
