Abstract
An axisymmetric, mechanical analysis of conical press-fit ceramic heads is performed. The head strength and its fracture modes are assessed experimentally. The stress field is examined by finite element, strain gauge and photoelastic methods. An alternative head design, characterized by a cylindrical engagement with the stem, is analysed with the same techniques and its merits are explored.
