Results and Discussions
Based on the analysis of the FE model, it was seen that the total deformation,
equivalent stress, and strain increase with the increased load values. The fatigue
safety factor for the bone is found to be appropriate considering the daily activities
performed [ 18 ].
The purpose of our study was to establish a 3D FE model of humerus bones
from volumetric CT data that will accurately capture the varying bone geometry
and material properties. Arm bones are usually subjected to tensile forces during
