Abstract


In this paper, finite element analysis for design of plate for fractured femur is presented. The plates with different hole types are simulated. The types of hole are duo, flower and sloted forms and paired with a screw of 4.5 mm diameter. The plate and screw is made of SUS316L. A maximum load of 550 N is applied for each variation of plate design. The results are presented in terms of deformation and stress for both plate and screw. Numerical results show that the sloted plate is the best among the considered designs, from which the produced stress is below the material yield stress for almost all configurations.
