The results obtained were analyzed by comparing the Equivalent Von Mises Stress. Figure 11 shows the qualitative distribution of equivalent stresses for the three types of instruments selected, while Figure 6 shows the trends of the Equivalent Von Mises Stress. Table 3, on the other hand, displays the results in terms of the maximum equivalent stress recorded for each instrument.
