Štaffová, Markéta ; Hájek, Petr (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of standards for strain and stress analysis of TKR (total knee replacement) - especially of the femoral component. In the first part of the thesis is a research of the knee replacement. This part beggins with anatomy, movements and loading of the knee joint, and continues to medical indications for replacement, the various parts and types of knee arthroplasty, and the materials used in TKR, including the durability of the knee arthroplasty. The next section of the thesis describes the standards, that are used for the knee arthroplasty, detailing standards for pre-clinical evaluation and standards for testing components of knee replacement using computer software with FEA. Finally, the thesis presents the application of the standard for femoral component testing using FEA. This standard is used to the comparison of two femoral components and their strain-stress analysis.
