Effect of density to mechanical properties relationships on simulated vertebral failure load
Résumé
Vertebral fractures are frequent with the decrease of bone density due to age. Finite element models of bone failure have been proposed to estimate failure load of single vertebrae including vertebral endplates, but there is no international standard for these Finite Element (FE) models. Especially, many density to mechanical properties relationships can be found in the literature and none has been significantly proven to be better than another to predict failure load on the same dataset. The aim of this study is to compare different density to mechanical properties relationships using a tetrahedral model using the same elastoplasticmodel found in literature.
