Crack growth simulation of bone under three points bending in Abaqus

In this tutorial crack growth simulation of bone under three points bending in Abaqus has been studied. Structural analysis of bones is now actively studied by many researchers using the finite-element method (FEM) to better understand the mechanism of bone fractures. Most previous studies, however, only obtained distribution patterns of stress or strain, and did not show how a fracture initiates and proceeds or how a fracture line grows.There are several different ways in which a bone can fracture; for example, a break to the bone that does not damage surrounding tissue or tear through the skin is known as a closed fracture.On the other hand, one that damages surrounding skin and penetrates the skin is known as a compound fracture or an open fracture. Compound fractures are generally more serious than simple fractures, because, by definition, they are infected

The bone is modeled as two dimensional part with elastic material couple with traction separation law to define crack growth during the simulation. Static analysis and XFEM procedure is appropriate for this type of analysis. You can see some figures of this simulation at below
