Effects of Different Numerical Methods on the Fracture Prediction Accuracy for Cortical Bone Structure under Bending Load

Three numerical methods, including element instantaneous failure, continuum damage mechanics, and extended finite element methods, are mainly used to simulate the fracture in cortical bone structure. Although many simulations focus on the cortical bone fracture, few have investigated the differences...
