Femur Bone Model

Abstract

Reverse Engineering in terms of mechanical engineering is the processes of extracting knowledge or design information from anything and re-producing it based on the extracted information. The process usually includes a 3D scanning of the object, transfer the obtained data to the computer for measurements and data sensing based on 3D high quality analysis. The created model using CAD is used in analyzing, modifying, optimizing and manufacturing the desired object or product in factories. This project is aimed to use this technique for studying, analyzing and designing a femoral human bone with the purpose of improving implantable bone properties and reducing the time and the cost of manufacturing. This will be achieved by designing and creating a real model of proximal human femoral bone with accurate geometry and material properties retrieved from 3D scan data. The bone model will be used to do a real investigations on the mechanical behavior of bone structures. The femur bone is analyzed using ANSYS Software under load conditions. Hence the mechanical analysis with heterogeneous material property of bone is varying with individuals. The results of this analysis are helpful for orthopedic surgeons for clinical interest.
