1) The radial head (at the elbow) usually experiences a load of 500N in compression (from the humerus) and 100N in transverse (from the ulna). a. Calculate the stresses in the radius at a point 3cm distal to the elbow joint. b. Calculate the stresses after a titanium prosthesis is inserted. Ebone = 17 GPa; Entanium = 100 GPa Bone OD = 12mm, ID = 6mm
