Analysis of the Biomechanical Behavior of the Intervertebral Discs by Modeling Three-Phase Finite Elements
Abstract
Intervertebral discs act as a shock absorber to counteract the blows to the spine. These elements have the ability to deform when applied pressure, thus reducing the intensity of impacts. The main shape of discs is spherical when not under pressure; but when they are placed between the vertebrae, they expand under the pressure. One of the important functions of intervertebral discs is to facilitate movements in the spine
In order to study biological mechanics as one of the engineering infrastructures, in this paper, the combined modeling of finite element intervertebral discs as a saturated porous soft tissue is discussed. First, according to the continuum mechanics, the mathematical model is extracted and then the finite element model is prepared by ANSYS program package. Based on the different loads according to the available medical information, the biomechanical behavior of the disk was investigated. This model can be used to investigate the behavior of intervertebral discs in patients before or after surgery.
In this paper, in addition to the mathematical model, the mechanical behavior of the disk and the stress distribution under different loads were investigated.
