| Abstract: | Based on CT scanning pictures from a volunteer's knee joint,a three-dimensional finite element model of the healthy human knee joint is constructed including complete femur, tibia,fibular,patellar and the main cartilage and ligaments.This model was validated using experimental and numerical results obtained from other authors.The pressure distribution of contact surfaces of knee joint are calculated and analyzed under the load action of 'heel strike', 'single limb stance' and 'toe-off'.The results of the ga... |
