Modelling and static analysis of femur bone by using different implant materialsIOSR Journals
Femur is leg bone of the human body Undergoing more deformation. Biomechanics is the theory of
how tissues, cells, muscles, bones, organs and the motion of them and how their form and function are
regulated by basic mechanical properties. The aim of this study is to create a model of real proximal human
femur bone and the behavior of femur bone is analyzed in ANSYS under physiological load conditions.
A finite element model of bones is generated by using CT scan data are being widely used to make
realistic investigations on the mechanical behavior of bone structures. . Orthopedic implantation is done in case
of failure. Before implantation it is necessary to analyze the perfectness in case of its material property, size and
shape, surface treatment, load resistance and chances of failure. Analysis is done for the stresses formed in
different femur implant materials under static loading condition using ANSYS software.
Analysis is done on different materials like structural steel, and Ti-6Al-4V implant materials. Since
each femur carries 1/2 the body weight , analysis is done for 550kg,650kg, 750kg load, including the cases of
patient carrying certain weight. And based on the analysis it can be concluded that, while comparing these two
implant materials Ti-6Al-4V gave less deformation on static load conditions. TI-6AL4V is a low density
material, which has excellent bio compatible and mechanical properties, it is ideal for the use of an implant in surgeries. Finally the success of implantation depends on implant material and size, implantation method and
its handling by the patient
Finite Element Analysis of Osteosynthesis Miniplate for the Reconstruction of...UniversitasGadjahMada
In the last two decades, the use of osteosynthesis miniplate has been growing to aid the healing process and reconstruction of fractured mandibular bone. In principle, the plate is used to provide stable fixation of the fractured bone tissue during the healing process and reconstruction. Based on earlier studies, it is noted that arrangements and geometry of the osteosynthesis miniplate played a critical role in determining the stability of the fractured mandibular bone, as well as the miniplate. In this research, a simulation with finite element method (FEM) was carried out to investigate the influence of the number of holes in an osteosynthesis miniplate on the stability of fractured mandibular bone and the corresponding miniplate after the implantation. For this purpose, a set of osteosynthesis miniplate with three different configurations was taken for simulation using a three-dimensional (3D) model of mandibular bone generated from the patient through computed tomography (CT). The result of the simulation showed that all the miniplates with three configurations tested were stable enough to prevent movement of fractured mandibular bone. Moreover, fixation with a pair of miniplates having four screw holes demonstrated the desired result; as indicated by the lowest value of displacement, pressure on the bone surface and pressure on the miniplate.
Rotator cuff tears are a very common cause of shoulder pain. Surgery is very successful in improving pain but biological augmentation is aimed at improving the healing rate. Amniotic membrane allografts, PRP (platelet rich plasma) and stem cells are all currently popular options.

Characterization of effective mechanical strength of chitosan porous tissue s...ijbesjournal
Tissue engineering can be understand as the development of functional substitute to replace missing or malfunctioning human tissue and organs by using biodegradable or non-biodegradable biomaterials such
as scaffolds to direct specific cell types to organize into three dimensional structures and perform
differentiated function of targeted tissue. The important factors to be considered in designing of
microstructure and there structure material were type of bio-material porosity, pore size, and pore
structure with respect to nutrient supply for transplanted and regenerated cells. Performance of various
functions of the tissue structure depends on porous scaffold microstructures with dimensions of specific
porosity, pore size, characteristics that influence the behaviorand development of the incorporated cells.
Finite element Methods (FEM) and Computer Aided Design (CAD) combines with manufacturing
technologies such as Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) helpful to allow virtual design and fabrication,
characterization and production of porous scaffold optimized for tissue replacement with appropriate pore
size and proper dimension. In this paper we found that with the increase in the porosity of tissue
scaffolds(PCL, HAP, PGAL & Chitosan) their effective mechanical strength decreases by performing the
modeling & simulation with CAD & FEM package (Pro/E & ANSYS respectively) and validating the results with in vitro fabrication of Chitosan scaffold by performing in vivo mechanical testing.

ANSYS Mechanical software provides a vast library of material models that can help users simulate various kinds of behaviors such as elasticity, plasticity, creep and hyperelasticity, just to name a few.
Although these models can be used to investigate the mechanical response of a large number of different materials such as metals, rubbers, biological tissues and special alloys, users may wish to incorporate their own material laws into ANSYS.
This task can be accomplished by means of a user-programmable feature named USERMAT, a subroutine that allows users to write their own material constitutive equations within a general material framework using ANSYS’ current element technology.
This presentation shows the use of USERMAT recently shown at the 2014 ANSYS Regional Conference in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
Towards A Safer Design of Helmets: Finite Element & Experimental AssessmentSari Kassar
Motorcycle helmets are vital to protect from recurrent road accidents as they prove crucial in reducing brain trauma. This research piece presents a new and plausible bio-inspired design affined to the foam liner material and structure in helmets. The proposed liner design is inspired from animal horn micro-structure and tubule arrangement. An innovative drop-testing apparatus is presented with a spring-ratchet mechanism for experimental testing. The aim is to validate the new design by meeting the ECE 22.05 standard for motorbike helmets using peak linear acceleration and HIC criteria. Experimental results are partly verified against FEA simulations for two proposed samples. Further samples call for more complex simulations at a later stage to best describe material properties and structures.
Novel Bone Anchor Concept for Osteoporotic Bone Tissue, 02/2003Matthew Wettergreen
ABSTRACT
During the past decade, the use of bone screws in spinal stabilization has dramatically increased. Failure of implanted screws to provide adequate stabilization can necessitate additional surgical procedures. Modifications of factors previously shown to be associated with increased screw pullout strength have shown to be insignificant when applied in osteoporotic bone. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a new bone anchor design in providing superior biomechanical performance when compared to metal screws. We conducted a finite element study simulating implant pullout testing of a metal bone screw and a polymer bone anchor. The results indicated that the polymer bone anchor, while having inferior material properties, has superior biomechanical behavior. The pullout strength was increased by 40% with the new design, while stiffness was increased by more than four fold. We conclude from this study that bone anchors made out of polymers may be suitable for medical applications, however, their design needs to deviate from the traditional screw shape for adequate fixation. With material properties matching bone, polymers may prove to be more successful in long-term clinical applications, especially in osteoporotic bone.
INTRODUCTION
Surgical management of fractures has historically been accomplished by fixation of the fragments with metallic implants. Despite substantial improvements in metallurgy, design, and the understanding of the biomechanical forces acting on the implant system, the screw-bone interface has remained a major site of complications leading to failure of treatment [1].
Biomedical polymers with properties matching bone tissue may be a better alternative. The overall objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a new bone anchor design in providing superior biomechanical performance in osteoporotic bone when compared to metal screws. In this first phase we conducted a finite element study simulating implant pullout testing of a metal bone screw and a new concept design using a polymer bone anchor.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Three-dimensional finite element models of a trabecular bone core with a cortical shell, a metal bone screw, and a new bone anchor were developed. Finite element models were of standard single-threaded TSRH screws (Medtronics Sofamor Danek, Memphis, TN, U.S.A) with properties of titanium. The polymer bone anchor was designed with an orthogonal beam network mimicking trabecular bone with channels allowing even distribution of an injectable material between the implant and the adjacent bone tissue. Material properties of the anchor were based on published data for the biomaterial. Trabecular bone was modeled as transversely isotropic osteoporotic bone. The outer diameter of the bone core was more than three times the diameter of the implants. The pullout test was simulated with a max displacement of 2.25 mm. Stiffness and strength were calculated from the load-deformation curves.
RESULTS
Metal bone screws can be considered as the gold standard to stabilize spinal functional units. Therefore, we compared the biomechanical behavior in the other construct with the behavior of the bone screw. Our results indicate that the initial pullout resistance of the bone anchor is about four fold higher than that of the bone screw and the pullout-strength is about 40% higher in the bone anchor.
CONCLUSION
The bone-screw interface is a critical component for spinal stabilization. Placement of a significantly stiffer implant into bone disperses the forces non-uniformly, and regions of increased stress result within the screw and the bone. Weakened mechanical properties of synthetic polymers require a paradigm shift in the design of the screw. The much larger bone-implant interface of the new design lead to a drastically increased pullout strength (>40%) in osteoporotic bone when compared to the metal screw. The properties of the bone anchor

Fiber-filled plastic materials are commonly used in metal replacement applications. The combination of low weight and high stiffness makes fiber-filled plastics ideal for high-performance applications. The key to unlocking the potential of these plastics lies in the orientation of the fibers. The orientation direction and the degree of orientation of the fibers determine the mechanical properties of the molded part. The injection moluding process for fiber-filled parts can cause great
variation in strength throughout a part, the effects of the injection process should be considered in the design of such a part.

Presentation given to the Solid Freeform Fabrication Conference, Austin, TX 8/2006
ABSTRACT
Cellular solids studies the mechanical effects of the material arrangement of architectures for the goal of designing materials which are lightweight and possess high structural integrity. These architectures present themselves frequently in structural members in nature (bone, plant stalks, and porous rock) and are now used frequently in design (tissue engineering scaffolds, mechanical design). Until now however, physical studies of these architectures have been completed using molding techniques (for 2D) and random models (for 3D). Rapid prototyping (RP) provides high repeatability during replication which decreases error in studied samples and can serve to reduce the number of conflicting variables which confound the development of structural relationships. In this study we designed and characterized four geometric solids from the Platonic and Archimedean set of polyhedra, the simplest architectures that exist in nature which exhibit symmetry and order. Multiple models of these polyhedra were generated using computer aided design at similar topologies but with varying volume fractions. Employing finite element analysis we analyzed the structures with simulated uni-axial linear compressive tests. We then built actual models of the architectures using solid laser sintering (SLS) with a Sinterstation 2500Plus. The architectures were printed at porosities of 80% and 90% by volume with a bounding box of 2cm x 2cm x 2cm. After printing of the models, they were scanned with micro-computed tomography (µCT) as a validation of the use of SLS for fabrication of computer modeled architectures. Finally, the architectures were compressed to fracture using an MTS, validating the modeling component of the design and providing information which will allow for the determination of relationships which govern the material arrangement and resulting mechanical properties. These results of this study are useful in the development of models which directly relate complex architecture to mechanical properties; these models can be used to develop any architecture based on given input parameters such as porosity, surface area, connectivity and fracture pattern.

Tailoring the Mechanical Environment of Scaffolds with Computer Aided Design and Rapid Prototyping

While porous scaffolds have shown success in stimulating tissue growth, the random organization of the microarchitecture results in regions exhibiting large variability in mechanical properties. Stress profiles on the scaffold surface depend upon the volume fraction and may vary wildly, presenting regions, which may be unsuitable for cell attachment and viability. If a regular/repeatable architecture is provided, the mechanical environment can be predetermined. We and others have previously demonstrated that rapid prototyping can be utilized to create scaffolds with designed, repeated architecture. The goal of this study was to evaluate a library of CAD designed architectures for tissue engineering. Regular polyhedra based on the Archimedean and Platonic solids and architectures taken from current literature were compared against randomized architecture using finite element analysis. The results demonstrated that for a specific material volume fraction but varying spatial distribution, Young’s Modulus may vary by two orders of magnitude, thus illustrating the dependence of strength upon architecture. Additionally, the stress profile for the designed architectures exhibit peaks at specific stress levels and scaffolds with grossly dissimilar geometry exhibited similar stress profiles. Scaffolds with tailored mechanical properties may be assembled from the unit architectures. The scaffolds may be fabricated from any desired material using rapid prototyping and negative molding and may be helpful for treating defects which require the scaffold to bear mechanical loading.

Tissue Engineered Composite Bone Cement For Reinforcing Osteoporotic Bone

INTRODUCTION: Injectable materials for use in vertebroblasty and kyphoplasty have been augmented with micro- or nano- sized particles to increase the overall mechanical strength of the composite material. These studies have focused solely on the improvement of the mechanical properties through the adjustment of geometry, architecture, and degradation profile of the material. The goal of the current study was the generation of a porous material, with a controlled rate of degradation, which can be used for injection purposes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: By focusing on the engineering of an interconnected pore structure, a high surface area to volume ratio can be created, increasing the strength of the material while maintaining porosity. A novel injectable bone cement is created using a Calcium Phosphate slurry with solid phase polypropylene fumarate (PPF) particulates of engineered architecture. The PPF is formed into macrosize (~750um) two-dimensional star-like shapes using rapid prototyping technology and molding processes. The star shape is designed to seal the spaces between adjacent trabeculae, which have a spacing of approximately 1mm. Plugging of the inter-trabecular spacing should aid in the containment of the liquid bone cement during injection, preventing the common problem of overfilling.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal volume percent and +/-10% volume percent of PPF is introduced into the viscous material to create the injectable composite. The three formulations are then injected into cylindrical volumes for testing purposes. After curing, the samples are scanned on a µCT 80 (Scanco Medical, Basserdorf, Switzerland) with a resolution of 10um. Incorporation of a contrast agent will allow the visualization of each phase of the composite material using µCT. The scans will be used to evaluate the interconnected void spaces formed when the PPF degrades. A degradation study is performed to evaluate the degradation of the PPF micro-particles. Degraded samples will be mechanically tested to evaluate whether degradation of the microparticles reduces the mechanical strength of the cements to levels insufficient for usage in vertebroblasty and kyphoplasty. By using a composite material consisting of a liquid element phase, an ordered pore structure can be generated. The cured material may promote bone growth and could ultimately improve the biomechanical quality of the regenerated trabecular bone in a vertebral body after treatment. The incorporation of geometric shapes and regulated architecture into liquid injectable materials could be used in vertebroblasty and kyphoplasty for reinforcement or bone fracture repair.

https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
