Abstract

Biomechanics is a field that combines with disciplines of Biology, Engineering Mechanics, and Mathematics, utilizes the tools of Physics, Computer Aided Design, Computer Aided Manufacturing, and Engineering to describe the properties of biological materials. These measurements are used to estimate the fracture risk in people of all ages. The theme of this present work is to carry out the finite element analysis of femur bone during the static condition. Finite element analysis has been widely used to describe the mechanical behavior of the long bones, which have been created from CT (Computer Tomography) images. In this work, a three dimensional model of the human femur bone has been modeled by using Bio-CAD software and analysis is done by using COMSOL Multiphysics software. This method helps to find out risk factor in bone fractures and finds a region of fracture zones.
