Biomedical simulation of physiological and prosthesized human femur
2003
AST worked in collaboration with the design department of a supplier of medical and surgical material to evaluate a new design of prothesis before being launched to market.
A physiological femur and a prosthesized femur were compared to evaluate the effect of the implantation of the new prothesis on the femur.
- Development of geometry and FEA model of the femur from a set of CT images
- Development of prosthesized femur FEA model
- Analysis of physiological and prosthesized femur under normal loading conditions
- Comparison of stresses of both models. Analysis of mechanical behaviour
