Modelling human bones

[optimus2007]

I want to model (CAE) a human hip joint, but I need the material
propetries (geometry,....). Where can I get this?

Many thanx for helping

The biomechanics forum might be more appropriate

You may be able to find suitable geometry at a CAD sharing site such as

Hi Optimus, if you are looking for a non-linear model, a recent paper by Mullins et al might be useful. Calibration of a constitutive model for the post yield behavior of cortical bone.

You would really need access to journal database, i.e. ISI web of knowledge, are your university/company should have access to some database, you can search the author from there. Hope the helps.
