Modelling and Fracture Analysis of Femur Bone using Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and Applications in Aerospace

Modelling the femur bone and study of
fracture analysis is important to understand orthogonal
properties of the bone and is the way to find the compact
results in order to initiate the new researches for dealing
with the complex structures at both macro and micro level
in this field. The main focus of this study is bone’s
orthogonal properties and effect on bone’s mechanical
properties at specific loading conditions. The fracture will
be dealt through initiating crack on the body of femur
under XFEM Crack Growth using Abaqus, modelling
was done through MIMICS and stress and deformation
analysis was carried out. This research includes stress
strain analysis and also shows the biomechanical
properties of bone and its composition along with
applications of biomechanics in aerospace industry . The
mechanical analysis shows equivalent elastic strain about
1.5 × 10-3

to 1.7 × 10-3

. Dimensions were taken in

millimetres.
