Abstract : This chapter highlights the steps involved in formulating and
executing a computational simulation of knee replacement biomechanics.
After a brief overview of the modelling approach and knee replacement
designs, the application and role of knee implant computational models
are discussed. The assumptions pertaining to computational modelling
of knee implants are covered next, followed by model de nition and
formulation. Numerical techniques are then ...
