Numerical Simulation for Stress Distribution of Bones and Bone Plate Using Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A three-dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate the integrated system which consists of the fractured bone (femur), bone plate and stabilization screw by using the ANSYS software. The stress and strain distribution of the integrated system is investigated. The numerical model simulates a patient’s imperfect walking under the assumption that the fractured bone is not able to support any load and all body weight was burden by bone plate in fractured bone section. The simulation results reveal that the maximum Von Mises stress on bone plate is much less than yield strength and fatigue strength of Titanium alloy.
