FEA on Human Joint 2

[s89t3]

Has anyone ever conducted a FEA on a human joint and have insight where I could find the material properties of bone(anisotropic)/cartilage(viscoelastic).

Thanks

Have you tried searching the Bioengineers forums. I seem to recall they discussed material properties of bone and cartilage.

One of the best places to start is here...

http://www.tecno.ior.it/VRLAB/researchers/repository/BEL_repository.html

The site includes files that have been previously used for FEA Analyses at different universities around the world - if nothing else, it may help you avoid reinventing the wheel.
