Simulation of fracture of the bone implant with the porous structure

Abstract

Different approaches to bone defects reconstruction with the use of ceramic materials have been developed recently. Ceramics are identical with bone matrix, provide biomedical compatibility with bone tissue and possess high strength. But with an overall high strength ceramic implants destruct in dynamic mode. The paper presents a study of the effect of the porosity gradient on the destruction of the bone implants under dynamic loading. It is shown that the fracture behavior of the bone implants is changed with increasing levels of the gradient of porosity.
