Finite element analysis of functionally graded bone plate at femur bone fracture site

Finite element analysis of human femur bone

An effort is made to analyse the stresses experienced by the human femur. In order to achieve these results a CAD model was developed by using the 3-D scanning of generic human femur for an individual of 70 kg weight (approx. averaged adult weight). The marrow cavity has been approximated as a hollow cylinder. The FEM model was built using solid tetrahedral element (20-noded 186 structural soli...

Finite Element Analysis on Vibration Modes of Femur Bone

Femur bone is the longest and largest bone found in human body. It is also one of the most commonly fractured bones of human body, especially for the elderly. In this paper, vibration analysis of femur bone is studied by the help of finite element simulation to provide more insight in designing bio-aided equipments or protective sports equipments for femur. The simulations were performed using ...

Simulation of Femur Bone Fracture in Car Accident using CT Scan Data and Finite Element Analysis

Fracture of femur bones in car accident is common. In the present work, the fracture of femur bone was modeled as a failure under three-point bending. The CT scan data was converted into 3D solid modeling using Mimics software. The finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out using ANSYS software. The FEA results were in good agreement with the experiment results.

Isogeometric finite element analysis of functionally graded plates using a refined plate theory

We propose in this paper a novel inverse tangent transverse shear deformation formulation for functionally graded material (FGM) plates. The isogeometric finite element analysis (IGA) of static, free vibration and buckling problems of FGM plates is then addressed using a refined plate theory (RPT). The RPT enables us to describe the non-linear distribution of shear stresses through the plate th...
