Finite element analysis of tibia bone model

Abstract

In this Paper tibia bone is generated and analyzed using finite element method by applying static load on it and various stress concentrated regions in tibia bone is identified and analyzed for stresses at various locations by taking Von Misses stress and displacement. The body of the human being consists of many bones and muscles and many instances, the application of different loads leads to the damage in the bone. So it is necessary to evaluate the effect of applied loads on the bone of human body. In most of the cases whole body weight is carried by the tibia bone which is below the knee roll. So it’s necessary to estimate the strength of the tibia bone to carry the body weight. The behavior of the tibia bone under dynamic and static load is necessary for the orthopedic doctors during the treatment of ankle trauma and fractures, but in this paper the study is limited to only static and find out the aspects like Von Misses stress and displacement of tibia bone model under different forces of 800N, 810N, 820N &830N and from the result its understood that both Von Misses stress and displacement are directly proportional to the applied force and the value of Von misses stress in result is less than the maximum value i.e 18MPa for calcium, hence its concluded that generated bone model can withstand the applied force in the range of 800 to 850N.
