Abstract

A three dimensional finite element model is generated, utilizing a Computed Tomography (CT) data file for the geometry and radiographic density information. A computer pre-processing procedure for a finite element program automatically reconstructs the scanned two-dimension cross sectional images of a tibial shaft. An edge detection algorithm and a mesh generator were developed to generate a three dimensional mesh, which together with mechanical properties, derived from the CT radiographic density, with boundary conditions, loads and displacements, determined from gait analysis comprise the input to the finite element stress analysis program. An example was performed to analyze the model.
