RESUMO

Abstract A human femur model, submitted to static loads, is analyzed through the utilization of three material constitutive relationships, namely: isotropic, transversally isotropic and orthotropic. The influence of bone anisotropy with respect to principal stress/strain distribution on human femur external surface was accessed through the use of analytical and finite element approaches. The models results show that the principal angles at a medial path bone surface have a good correlation with human femur bone lamellae angles.
