Rat Femur Simulation (for mechanical properties of femur in Biomedical Engineering)
Rat Femur Simulation (for mechanical properties of femur in Biomedical Engineering)
Summary
Femur – the bone located within the human thigh, the longest and the strongest bone in the human body, extending from the hip to the knee
Source: healthline.com, Human body maps
Completed an ‘ANSYS Innovation’ course on ‘FEA Bending simulation of a Rat Femur’
The mechanical properties of the femur in the leg can be studied through performing tests on a rat femur in biomedical engineering (calculating deformation and strain)

(Load) Displacement of 0.3mm at the center
Frictionless support at the front corners
Results (ANSYS)
Max Total deformation = 0.3mm
Normal elastic strain (X-axis), max = 0.016
