Abstract

Abstract: Bone are most important tissues, consists of raw materials like calcium and phosphorus. They develop rapidly during one of early years and make good themselves. The bone is particular as a linear-elastic, isotropic process and uniform material. Bones are an essential part of the human skeleton. It helps to maintain the softer parts of the body. Trauma is a chief cause of death and disability in both developed and increasing countries. The humanity physical condition association predicts that by the year 2021, trauma will be the leading origin of years of life lost for both urban and increasing nations. Bone crack is one of the common traumas. One method of curing the cracked bone is by joining the cracked bone by using bone joints. The main objective of this study is to compare bone joints are made up of dissimilar biomaterials aluminium alloy Al8090 series due to light weight with high strength and silicon carbide to improve the strength and find out the best material. Femur bone is modelled in SOLIDWORKS and analyzed using ANSYS 13.0. The crack fixation joints are also modelled and fractured bone and analyzed.
