A finite element model of a total hip replacement (THR) has been developed from the approach of modal analysis. The model is capable of determining the first 15 Eigenmodes of a THR with an artificial bone model. The model was equipped with several different defects to simulate a loosening of THR and to enforce a shifting of the frequency spectrum of the system’s Eigenfrequencies. Using the preliminary findings from the shifting of the frequency spectrum a classification of defects is to be created to get knowledge and experience of the level of loosening.
