COMPUTER SIMULATION OF THE ELASTIC PROPERTIES OF TITANIUM ALLOYS FOR MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

Results of a computer simulation of the elastic properties of α+β- and β-titanium alloys, used for medical purposes, within the framework of the molecular-dynamics method are presented. It is shown that β-titanium alloys are best
suited for the use as bone implants because of their small moduli of elasticity. The advisability of the use of the molecular-dynamics method for the study of the elastic properties of titanium alloys, serving as bone implants, is
demonstrated.
