hip implants, bone screws, testing
In a text on the characteristics of corticalis and spongiosa screws used for fastening prosthetic implants. I found "tip momentum" and "tip factor", but would really appreciate some input from someone whose had a little more experience with this.
Das minimale Abkippmoment von 5.3 Nm wurde von allen Schrauben erfüllt.

The translation would be in terms of moment or torque (not momentum). This is clear
from the units (force x distance). torque and moment are the same. It's just that torque
is understood to have a rotational influence.
Hope this helps a little bit.

The units of momentum are mass x velocity (mv) at least for linear momentum.
For angular momentum it is moment of inertia x angular velocity.
But with Units of newton x meters (N.m) it is moment or torque.

One exmaple of moment is when we have a lever system. the longer the distance
between the applied force (hand) and the fulcrum, the easier it is to lift things, because
the moment gets larger with distance (the effect of \"m\" in N.m.)
