Title:

Prediction of the mechanical response of the femur with uncertain elastic properties

Author(s):
Wille, H.; Rank, E.; Yosibash, Z.
Abstract:
A mandatory requirement for any reliable prediction of the mechanical response of bones, based on quantitative computer tomography, is an accurate relationship between material properties (usually Young's modulus E) and bone density ?. Many such E-? relationships are available based on different experiments on femur specimens with a large spread due to uncertainties. The first goal of this study is to pool and analyze the relevant available experimental data and develop a stochastic E-? relation...     »
