Thermoelastic Stress Analysis of the Human Tibia

Abstract: The thermoelastic stress analysis method is a non-contact technique which utilizes the thermoelastic qualities of hard tissues such as bones. It enables easy measurement and imaging of surface stress distributions. Using this approach, we performed stress analyses of human tibias in simulated loading conditions at various modes of varus valgus loading on the knee joint. In normal loading, the greatest stress image was obtained on the posterior aspect, indicating that the majority of the stress was concentrated… Show more

“…Several prior studies have investigated the application of IR thermography in analysing stress patterns on bone. However, due to limited advances in thermographic technology, the quality of images produced was poor and inconsistent, while relevant stress data were not reported to make any useful observations with the current study [117,[137][138][139][140].…”

“…Secondly, there was a variation in fibre glass filled epoxy between the consecutive design generations that could alter the thermoelastic properties significantly [117,141]. The K m of natural cortical bone = 1.1 x 10 -6 /MPa, suggesting that testing with synthetic bones would provide an equal or greater stress resolution than natural bone [118,137,142].…”
