Abstract
The mechanical response of a plane strain finite element model depicting an axial midsection of a human femur is investigated for both static and dynamic condylar loadings. An elastic bi-medium structure composed of compact and cancellous bone is used to represent the femur.Critically stressed locatKeywords
