Question: A titanium ( E = 1 1 0 GPa ) hip implant stem with a circular crosssection ( L = 2 5 0 m m

A titanium (E=110GPa ) hip implant stem with a circular crosssection (L=250mm,d=15mm) is subjected to an axial compressive load of F=8000N. Due to a small surface defect near the head of the implant, there is a stress concentration factor K=2.2 at that point. Determine the total deformation of the implant, assuming the average stress can be assumed at a distance greater than 2 d from the notch.
