| ABSTRACT Hip replacement implants are currently increasing worldwide. However, the number of failing implants is also relatively high. In this paper, the design of a prosthesis hip joint is analyzed using finite element analysis. A FE model was developed in accordance with the ISO standard and was verified using ANSYS and SIEMENS NX packages. Furthermore, FE results were verified using published experimental results. The verified FE model was then used to simulate the joint under dynamic loading taking into account the effect of level of activity on scaling the loads up. Two material types: TI-6AL-4V and Cobalt–chromium alloys were used and the results showed that TI-6AL-4V alloy proved to have more durability under dynamic loading. In addition, the results showed that the level and type of life activates have an obvious and a pronounced effect on the service life of the prosthesis joint. | ||||
