Femoral fracture load and damage localisation pattern prediction based on a quasi-brittle law : linear and non-linear FE meshing
Fafa Ben Hatira, Zahira Nakhli, Fafa Hatira +3
Finite element analysis is one of the most used tool for studying femoral neck fracture. Nerveless, consensus concerning either the choice of material characteristics, damage law a…
Influence of muscle preactivation of the lower limb on impact dynamics in case of frontal collision
Martine Pithioux, Pascale Chavet, Nancy St-Onge +1
Accidentology or shock biomechanics are research domains mainly devoted to the development of safety conditions for the users of various transport modes in case of an accident. The…
Comparison of compact bone failure under two different loadings rates: experimental and modelling approaches
Martine Pithioux, D. Subit, P. Chabrand
Understanding the mechanical behaviour of bones up to failure is necesary for diagnosis and prevention of accident and trauma. As far as we know, no authors have yet studied the te…
An alternative ultrasonic method for measuring the elastic properties of cortical bone
Martine Pithioux, P. Lasaygues, P. Chabrand
We studied the elastic properties of bone to analyze its mechanical behavior. The basic principles of ultrasonic methods are now well established for varying isotropic media, parti…
