Simulation of Femur Bone Fracture in Car Accident using CT Scan Data and Finite Element Analysis

A. Chennakesava Reddy, B. Kotiveerchari

Abstract: Fracture of femur bones in car accident is common. In the present work, the fracture of femur bone was modeled as a failure under three-point bending. The CT scan data was converted into 3D solid modeling using Mimics software. The finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out using ANSYS software. The FEA results were in good agreement with the experiment results.
