Abstract

The longest and largest bone in the human body is the femur. Pelvic bone sustains the weight of the body to which the femur bone is connected. Many researches have been carried out to identify the behaviour of the femur bone. The study aimed to explore the natural frequencies and mode shapes of vibrating devices to gain insights into the dynamic behavior of the femur bone during various physical activities. Examining the impact of patient-specific bone shape and density on bone natural frequencies is crucial. The primary goals of femur bone analysis involve employing computer simulations for fracture detection and employing Finite Element (FE) models to determine natural frequencies and vibration modes. To obtain the natural frequency of the femur bone, different boundary conditions such as free-fixed and fixed-fixed are applied. Avoiding the coincidence of the natural frequency with external excitation frequencies is crucial to prevent femur bone fractures. Also, for different magnitude of loads, femur bone is involved in harmonic analysis is to identify the amplitude and stress against acceleration.
