Abstract

This project was aimed to develop prosthetic knee mechanism of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and determine fatigue life for posterior stabilized knee implant by using Solidworks software.From the original model of knee implant will be scanned to duplicate for the CAD model before proceed to the 3D printing process. The material that is use to generate current model is the thermoplastic (ABS).By the simulation for fatigue test, the material that will select is Titanium Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V. There will be studies about fatigue life on the material that are used.The materials that will be analyzed on the simulation will be different load that acted.The load will be applied to the material to determine what are the limitation of the material can hold before it fatigue.The data from cycle time and loading of the material will be collected and it will be analyzed which are the result of the fatigue study for the product simulation.Fatigue life will be observed through S-N curves graph which generate from the simulation process,from the graph able to determine at what number of cycles the product will occur damage.Besides that,the value that causes the fatigue of the material can be determined from the contour plot.The result of the prediction will be compared from the different load acted to determine the lifespan of the. From the data that have been collected,it will show that which cycle time and number of stress for the material for the fatigue failure.
