Fintie Element Analysis of the human ankle

Fintie Element Analysis of the human ankle

Fintie Element Analysis of the human ankle

(OP)
Hi everybody
Iam  constructing a computer model which is to represent arthrodesis between the talus and fibular of the human ankle joint, this model will then undergo finite element analysis testing. I have been instructed to construct the model out of first Model board then Tooling board so that there results can be analysed, however before I can construct and apply these materials, I must first know there properties such as there Young’s modulus, etc before they can be inputted into the model.
However I am having grate difficulty finding any information about these two materials and I would be extremely thankful if anyone could enlighten me with any information relating to these two materials or direct to a location where I could possibly acquire the relevant information (if at all they exist).
Thankyou:   

RE: Fintie Element Analysis of the human ankle

Finding the properties of those bones may prove to be a challenge. I will look through some of my biomechanics reference books and see if I can help.

Please let me know if you've already found something, as I see it's been a month.

Some of the research done into impact biomechanics may allow you to find data on the ankle joint. I believe there have been a few lower leg and ankle studies with regard to car crashes. Some assumption of the non-linear properties of these bones must have been made.

As I said, I'll post more if after I look in some books.
