Context: Modeling and simulating femoral neck fractures using Finite Element Analysis.
Finite element Analysis of femoral neck fractures using FEBio Suite and OpenSim
Assignments :
Searching and reading Scientific bibliography about FEA and femoral neck fractures simulations
Extracting materials properties of cortical bone (Density, Young Modulus, Poisson’s Ratio)
Estimation of join reaction forces on OpenSim, using a musculoskeletal model and the gait dataset which were provided
Specifying boundaries conditions on FEBio
Applying “Boundary load” on FEbio
Running the simulation and finding the forces loading to the femur during walking (maximum stress, Pressure points, Maximal Stress Distribution)
Compering different models (Normal bone, normal with lower density, Osteoporosis)
Software: OpenSim, FEBio suite, Libre Office
Methods: Modeling and Simulation, Inverse Kinematics
OS: Linux-Ubuntu & Windows 10
Achievements: Successful implementation of all tasks. However the results of the numbers we took for unknown reason were not realistic according to official literature (probably the mesh file had a bug or less possible there was wrong convention with the values input and the mesh file that was used).
