Abstract:
Standard methods for predicting bone's mechanical response from quantitative computer tomography (qCT) scans are mainly based on classical h-version finite element methods (FEMs). Due to the low-order polynomial approximation, the need for segmentation and the simplified approach to assign a constant material property to each element in h-FE models, these often compromise the accuracy and efficiency of h-FE solutions. Herein, a non-standard method, the finite cell method (FCM), is proposed for p...     »
