Three different interface geometries for porous ingrowth surface replacements of the hip were examined using two-dimensional linear and nonlinear contact finite element analyses. The results indicate that incorporation of a nearly flat prosthesis interface between the surface replacement and the und

Abstract
Porous coated implants are loaded under both bending and shear loading. Previously, the effect of various parameters on fatigue strength under a bending load has been determined. The interfacial geometry between the porous coating and the substrate was found to increase stress concentrations leading to reduced fatigue strength. This study quantifies the effect of porous coating interfacial geometry on interfacial stress under a shear load. A twoβdimensional finite element model is used to study the effect of interfacial geometry on the value of the maximum shear stress. It was found that the requirements to reduce stress concentrations are different under a shear load than under a bending load. A conventional porous coating would require a compromise to satisfy the conflicting requirements. A new geometry, can optimize the values of the geometric parameters to satisfy the conditions for both modes of loading. Β© 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Porous-coated Ti-6A1-4V has a fatigue strength approximately one-third that of the uncoated alloy. The interfacial geometry between the porous coating and the implant substrate is notchlike, leading to stress concentrations that have been shown to be the main cause for the reduction in fatigue stren
A finite-element analysis is performed to evaluate the influence of the geometrical configuration and of Poisson's ratio on the stress-intensity factor (SIF) prevailing in a singleedge-notch specimen (SEN) under fixed-grip conditions. It is found that the shorter the specimen and the longer the rela
