A quasi-brittle continuum damage finite element model of the human proximal femur based on element deletion.

In this paper, a simple and practical finite element (FE) model coupled to a quasi-brittle damage law to describe the initiation and progressive propagation of multiple cracks based on element deletion is developed to predict the complete force-displacement curve and the fracture pattern of a human...
