EM 388F Term Paper: Application of Fracture Mechanics on Cortical Bone Studies
One of the most common problems in older people is the fragility of the bones. Human bones are prone to fracture, and fracture of certain bones in the body such as the cortical bone may be fatal. Understanding of the fracture mechanism of bones is essential for the medical profession, and plays a major role in the study of osteoporosis as well.
An overview of bio-mechanical models for bones and related topics

Hi everyone!
I'm looking for a good comprehencive overview about bio-mechanics and numerical simulation in
bio-mechanics. I'm mainly interested in the following topics:
-- mathematical models for bone simulation
-- contact problems and corresponding models (e.g., bone-prosthesis models, etc.)
-- corresponding numerics/simulations
and corresponding state-of-the-art.
Thanks in advance!

Variability in Bone Indentation
A viscous-elastic-plastic indentation model was used to assess the local variability of properties in healing porcine bone. Constant loading- and unloading-rate depth-sensing indentation tests were performed and properties were computed from nonlinear curve-fits of the unloading displacement-time data. Three properties were obtained from the fit: modulus (the coefficient of an elastic reversible process), hardness (the coefficient of a nonreversible, time-independent process) and viscosity (the coefficient of a nonreversible, time-dependent process). The region adjacent to the dental implant interface demonstrated a slightly depressed elastic modulus along with an increase in local time-dependence (lower viscosity); there was no clear trend in bone hardness with respect to the implant interface.
