### Power Output and Stress Distribution  
Integrating piezoelectric elements within e orthopedic implants significantly improved power output and stress distribution. The optimized piezoelectric implants were subjected to various mechanical loading conditions to evaluate their performances. The maximum power output achieved by the piezoelectric implants was 4.10 Watts, a substantial improvement over traditional battery-powered solutions. Figure 6 showcases the dynamic responses of piezoelectric implants under different damping coefficients (0.1, 0.5, and 1) by plotting displacement, velocity, and acceleration over time. The top row shows displacement plots illustrating how the implant's movement varies with different damping coefficients. As the damping increases from 0.1 to 1, the oscillations become more attenuated, indicating the quicker stabilization of the implant. The middle row shows velocity plots showing the rate of change in displacement. Higher damping coefficients result in smoother velocity curves with reduced peak values, reflecting a dampened response to mechanical stimuli. The bottom row is an acceleration plot depicting the velocity change rate. The acceleration peaks decrease with increasing damping, and the oscillations dampen faster, indicating improved control over the implant's dynamic behavior. Figure 6 is pivotal in demonstrating the effect of damping on the dynamic responses of piezoelectric implants. By visualizing displacement, velocity, and acceleration across varying damping coefficients, the research highlights the importance of optimizing damping to

The novelty lies in providing a comprehensive understanding of how different damping levels influence the mechanical response, which is crucial for ensuring the long-term reliability and effectiveness of the implants in real-world orthopedic applications. This detailed analysis helps to fine-tune the implant design to achieve optimal dynamic behavior, improving patient outcomes and longevity. FEA simulations and experimental validations revealed that the optimized design effectively distributed mechanical stress across the implant. The stress distribution was uniform, ensuring that no area experienced excessive stress that could compromise the implant's structural integrity. The stress levels remained within the material's safe operational limits, highlighting the design's robustness and suitability for long-term use in orthopedic applications. The optimized design minimized stress concentrations, reducing the risk of mechanical failure. The uniform stress distribution contributed to the implant's durability and longevity. The piezoelectric elements effectively converted mechanical energy into electrical energy without adversely affecting the implant's structural integrity. Overall, the results indicate that the optimized piezoelectric implants can generate sufficient power for embedded sensors and telemetry systems while maintaining excellent mechanical performance. Figure 7 consists of two panels demonstrating critical aspects of piezoelectric implants' performances and optimization. Figure 7a shows a displacement of voltage curves graph, showing the voltage output as a function of mechanical displacement for three piezoelectric materials: PZT (blue, 2 V/mm), PVDF (green, 1.5 V/mm), and BaTiO3 (red, 1 V/mm). The linear relationships indicate that as displacement increases, the voltage output also increases proportionally, with PZT showing the highest sensitivity, followed by PVDF and BaTiO3. Figure 7b is the graph of potential energy and elastic strain design points illustrating the optimization process by displaying potential energy (blue) and elastic strain (red) across different design points. The fluctuations in both curves highlight how different configurations impact the implants' performances.
