Young Modulus Titanium 380 MPa Bone 500 MPa Cartilage 900 MPa Ligament 1000 MPa A titanium biomedical device transfers a force of 1200 N over a 10 mm2 area of a femur. It is known that in a normal femur joint the weight of 90kg is transmitted to the bone through the same 10mm2 area. Which situation presents the greatest strain on the femur bone?
