ASTM F3161: Standard Test Method for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of Metallic Orthopaedic Total Knee Femoral Components under Closing Conditions
This standard establishes requirements and considerations for the numerical simulation of metallic orthopaedic cemented and cementless total knee femoral components using Finite Element Analysis for the evaluation of stresses and strains. Loads are selected to simulate closing conditions. This standard is only applicable to stresses below the yield strength, as provided in the material certification.
