Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleUsing a Truss-Inspired Model with the Uniform Strength Optimization Theory to Predict Spongy Bone Geometry in Proximal FemurHamed Pishdast, Farzam Farahmand, Gholamreza RouhiThis paper presents a new naïve approach for simulating bone remodeling process. It is based on the uniform strength theory of optimization and employs a truss-like model for bone. The truss was subjected to external loads including 5 point loads simulating the hip joint contact forces and 3 muscular forces at the attachment sites of the muscles to the bone … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,174 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHow Does The Bone Shaft Geometry Affect its Bending Properties?Kaveh PourAkbar Saffar, Nima JamilPour, Seyed Mohammad RajaaiIn this research, ten fresh specimens of sheep tibiae were provided from slaughtered animals. Whole bone specimens were loaded in three-point bending according to standard wet bone test protocols. Mechanical properties were determined and compared with the results which were obtained from two dry bone tests. The results showed that fracture bending moment and bone extrinsic stiffness had significant relations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,148 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Optimization of a Porous Ti6Al4V Bone Construct Using Additive ManufacturingJeffrey Wilk, Glenn Sanders, Shelby Marks et al.Patient specific implants are becoming viable treatment options in some orthopaedic applications through advances in additive manufacturing and 3D printing techniques. One potential application is for treatment of segmental bone defects, particularly in patients suffering from bone cancer. Current treatment options are: Amputation, megaprosthesis, or allografts. These treatments are often highly invasive, may require a partial/full joint replacement and are … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Jan 2017 · 7,811 accessesView PDF Cite
