Abstract

The mathematical calculation of the knee joint, with consideration of deformations introduces large practical concern from the point of view of medicine and artificial limb industry. In the article one of versions of such calculation is offered. The elastic deformations in contact (the problem of Hertz) are investigated. The numerical calculations of the radius of the zone of contact, of the depth of penetration and of contact pressure are conducted.

Keywords

Mathematical deformation model, knee, elastic deformations, contact pressure
