Finite Element Analysis

In this chapter, essentials of finite element analysis on musculoskeletal biomechanics are studied. For this reason, some fundamental types of finite elements, methodology, and difficulties of finite element analysis are considered. Also, some information on well-known general purpose finite element codes preferred in biomechanics and biomaterials world is given. Before discussing orthopedic researches for clinical relevance, an example of two-dimensional finite element analysis is examined.
