“…The above numerical fracture models differed but shared one feature: the strain was regarded as an indicator to control the damage and failure state in the element. Many studies have considered that strain is more accurate in determining the mechanical state of bone elements than stress ( Cohen et al, 2017 ; Lovrenic-Jugovic et al, 2020 ). However, different strain judging criteria were used among the fracture models discussed above.…”

Introduction: The principal strain or equivalent strain is mainly used in current numerical studies to determine the mechanical state of the element in the cortical bone finite element model and then perform fracture simulation. However, it is unclear which strain is more suitable for judging the element mechanical state under different loading conditions due to the lack of a general strain judging criterion for simulating the cortical bone fracture.Methods: This study aims to explore a suitable strain judging criterion to perform compressive fracture simulation on the rat femoral cortical bone based on continuum damage mechanics. The mechanical state of the element in the cortical bone finite element model was primarily assessed using the principal strain and equivalent strain separately to carry out fracture simulation. The prediction accuracy was then evaluated by comparing the simulated findings with different strain judging criteria to the corresponding experimental data.Results: The results showed that the fracture parameters predicted using the principal strain were closer to the experimental values than those predicted using the equivalent strain.Discussion: Therefore, the fracture simulation under compression was more accurate when the principal strain was applied to control the damage and failure state in the element. This finding has the potential to improve prediction accuracy in the cortical bone fracture simulation.
