Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Mechanical Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
This study improves the agreement between two stiffness measurement techniques of trabecular bone harvested from porcine mandibular condyles. The previous method of Zaylor (2013) measured stiffness with digital finite element and experimental compression tests using 2 mm bone cubes. The current study improves the agreement between methods by examining the effect of sample size using 3 mm and 4 mm cubes, the effect of strain range used in compression tests, and investigating the geometric accuracy of the digital finite element models. It was found that larger specimens improved the stiffness agreement in mediallateral, and superior-inferior directions of the condyles, (R² > 49). The agreement was not affected by the strain limits of 0.4-0.5%, 0.5-0.6%, and 0.4-0.6%. The average digital cube lengths were 2% smaller than the physical lengths. The improved agreement justifies digital modeling of trabecular bone to measure the stiffness of mandibular condyles.
