SAFER seminar: Cortical Bone Fracture Model to Predict Loading, Fracture Initiation and Fracture Pattern for Application in Human Body Models

Date
8 December 2022 10:00–11:00
Place
SAFER, Lindholmen Science Park, Lindholmspiren 3A, room Aldman OR Zoom

Welcome to a SAFER seminar in conjunction to I Putu Alit Putra's PhD defence! Prof Duane Cronin, University of Waterloo is going to be his opponent and we have got the opportunity to learn from him in his talk "Cortical Bone Fracture Model to Predict Loading, Fracture Initiation and Fracture Pattern for Application in Human Body Models". Prof Rob Thomson is hosting the seminar.

ABSTRACT
Finite element Human Body Models (HBM) have the potential to predict injury risk in impact scenarios, with the aim to predict tissue-level injury, including fracture of tissues such as cortical bone. Contemporary HBM often employ metal plasticity models for cortical bone, using tension-based mechanical and failure properties. Although such methods are generally able to predict the onset of fracture for tension loading, they are often limited to predict failure in shear or mixed modes of loading, and are not able to predict the resulting hard tissue fracture pattern. A recently developed continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model with a stress triaxiality failure criterion has been assessed for three load cases: bending, torsion and direct shear loading. Importantly, the fracture location and fracture pattern were predicted by the CDM model, indicating potential for general applicability in hard tissue fracture simulation.
