Zusammenfassung
Finite element analysis has gained a significant
attention in the field of biomechanics. The versatility of finite
element analysis is the major reason behind its implementation
and adoption has made the study of biomechanics much easier
and simpler. FEA, as a tool has helped in analyzing the
various organs in human body in different loading conditions.
Be it Orthopedic,Maxillofacial fractures,Orthodontics,
Prosthodontics, hemodynamics, it is finding its applications in
all areas of biomechanics. In this paper, one such study has
been carried out to understand the behavior of skull and
mandible under inclined impacts. Skull is one of the highly
complicated structures made up of bones in the human body.A
lot of research is being carried out throughout the world for
studying the skull structure in multidisciplinary level. Research
is also being carried out in treatments by effectively using
FEA, developing new methodologies and materials for
treatment in the field. Here, the model of the skull along with
mandible is constructed using the CT scan data using which
finite element model is created and impact analysis has been
carried out to find out the stresses, strains and energy
absorption of the skull material. Apart from the analysis,
attempt has been made in this paper to suggest the optimum
locations for placing implants to optimize treatment in trauma
patients.
