Large-scale micro-finite element simulation of compressive behavior of trabecular bone microstructure
Abstract eng: Microstructural finite element analysis has become a standard technique for evaluation of mechanical properties of trabecular bone. Due to the high complexity of the trabecular bone microstructure, the FE models have a very large number of elements (about 1 million elements per cubic cm in 50 µm3 resolution). To perform FE analysis of the microstructural FE models based on micro-CT scanning of whole bone samples (e.g. vertebral bodies) it is needed to solve 107 – 108 equations. This article deals with comparison of approaches using voxel-based microstructural FE models to calculate the overall mechanical properties of trabecular bone.
