Comparison of simplified bone-screw interface models in materially nonlinear μFE simulations
Recent publication
Micro-finite element simulations are used to estimate the stress on screw anchorages in bone. The contact point between bone and screws is simulated using physical models. Researchers at TU Wien and Karl Landsteiner University have revised these very computationally intensive models and compared tensile, compressive and shear loads with additional simplified interface models. The methods developed represent an efficient alternative to the physical models used to date.
