Study on 3D Reconstruction and Static/Dynamic Characteristics of Human Femur

Article Preview

Abstract:

3D (three-dimensional) reconstruction, the stress distribution and dynamic response characteristics of human femur are important for optimal design of human femur prosthesis. Based on the STL (Stereo Lithography) model, using the method of NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) surfaces modeling, 3D reconstruction of human femur has been discussed in this paper. Then the static and dynamics characteristics of the reconstructed human femur model are analyzed using finite element method. The analytical results revealed that the precision 3D model and the statics and dynamics characteristics of human femur are the key factors for the human femur prostheses design.
