Simulation of Combined Stresses and Stress Concentration Factor Effects on a Femur Cortical Bones

The purposes of this article were to obtain mechanical properties the dry femur cortical bone samples through a tensile load and stress concentration factor approach provide simulations predict experimental behaviors based on manipulations certain parameters biomaterial. Since have characteristics geometries, development mathematical model was necessary describe combination stresses interacting in when tension is applied. average diameters lengths 0.5 2 inches respectively tested using 10 kN Universal Tensile Machine determine such as yield ultimate stress, young module, fracture, among others. Several conducted evaluate failure criteria like “Von Mises”, “Tresca” “Tsai-Wu”. Finally, concluded that 83% data obtained from 22 observed “Stress-Strain” charts showed directly proportional relationship.
