Abstract

We present a numerical study of highly nonlinear solitary wave interaction with adjacent bone microstructures towards the development of a novel diagnostic scheme for site-specific bone quality assessment. High-resolution finite-element models of the trabecular bone microstructures in the femoral head are generated using a topology optimization-based bone microstructure reconstruction scheme. Using the finite-element models, a hybrid finite-element/discrete-element method is developed to examine the characteristic features of the reflected highly nonlinear solitary waves in a granular chain with adjacent damaged bone microstructure models for the prediction of partial fracture due to the development of osteoporosis.
