Abstract
In this study, the effect of graded design in comparison to homogeneous cartilage material is investigated for contact pressure distribution in the human knee joint. Knee implants are assumed a homogeneous material. In reality, cartilages are not homogeneous, and to replicate the heterogeneity of cartilages, a graded design is proposed. Simulation results show improved contact pressure distribution in the knee joint due to the graded composition of cartilages. The results are helpful in designing a new class of implant materials.
