I am designing the appropriate size of an upper endplate for a spinal disc and was wondering what would be the best way to calculate bending stress in this design. The image is shown in the link above. It is a ball and socket arrangement - would it be suitable to simplify this to a single knife edge when considering the stresses in the upper endplate?
