3-D MODELING, SMOOTHING, AND FINITE ELEMENT MODELING OF THE FEMUR

摘要

Computed Tomography data of a male was obtained from the National Institute of Health. The data was used to create three-dimensional models of the femur. These models were subject to data smoothing to prepare them for finite element meshing. The meshing was performed using a highly controlled mesh of hexahedral elements. Initial analysis of the femur model has been has been performed to verify its reliability.
