Finite Element Analysis of Femur Bone Exploring Different Loading Conditions and Modelling Fracture Scenarios

Abstract

Early in life, bones develop quickly because they contain critical elements like calcium and phosphorus. They also have particular physical properties, including linear elasticity, isotropy, and consistency. They provide support for the softer parts of the body and are an essential component of the human skeleton. Trauma affects both developed and developing nations and is a major global cause of mortality and disability. In a prior prediction, the World Health Organisation stated that by 2020, trauma will overtake other causes as the major cause of years of life lost in urban and developing countries. The fabrication of bone joints utilising different biomaterials, such as lightweight, high-strength aluminium alloy (Al) and silicon carbide, is one method of repairing bone fractures, which are usually caused by trauma. In order to determine the best material for fracture fixing, the main goal of this study is to evaluate different bone joints in terms of their material qualities and capacity to increase strength. The femur bone is modelled for the investigation, and CREO and ANSYS are used to analyse its characteristics. In addition, modelling and analysis of fixation joints for broken bones are part of the project.
