About the project

The femur or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the hip joint) bone of the leg. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum in the pelvic bone forming the hip joint, while the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and kneecap forming the knee joint. By most measures the femur is the strongest bone in the body. The femur is also the longest bone in the body.

We aimed at analyzing the femur bone structure to understand the influence of mesh and perform validation. Modal analysis is then performed on the chosen mesh. I worked with a team of three to perform. FEM analysis of the femur boneI was responsible for performing mesh convergence, both axial and transverse, and validation too.
