A new damage-adaptive bone remodeling model, in which an algorithm incorporating both strain and damage stimuli, is developed in this paper. Typically, a human proximal femur model is established to predict the bone mass distribution during bone remodeling process. And human physiology damage-repair cycle is considered in the model. The governing equations of the mathematical model, digesting the predecessors’ ideas, are numerically solved and implemented into ANSYS software via the user interface of finite element algorithm. With the aid of this novel model, the whole healing behavior of human proximal femur is elucidated properly. |
