Importance and aims of the research Biomechanics science is interested in studying the dynamic function and the movement of vital tissues depending on their mechanical properties. The main objective of this research is to design a digital model of the human femur using the engineering software specialized in medical image processing and engineering design in order to simulate the mechanical behavior. This would provide important medical information to orthopedic surgeons concerning the paths and the causes of bone fractures and deformities, and open a new perspectives in prosthetics efficiency enhancement. Materials and methods A three dimensional digital model of the femur was produced using the software DeVIDE v 9.8 for medical image processing. A surface triangular mesh was constructed and the mechanical response of the model has been simulated using Ansys 14.5. Results and discussions We have shown the steps necessary to design a computerized model of femur bone on the basis of three-dimensional X-ray images. The results showed the distribution of stresses and displacements of human femur at normal load conditions. Conclusion and recommendations It is recommended to adopt the specialized engineering software for the threedimensional simulation which can be used in different medical applications.

This paper deals with a numerical method based on the simulation of a 2D tank, for unsteady and laminar two - dimensional incompressible viscous flow. Navier-Stokes and Continuity equations are solved in a fluid domain. These equations are discreti zed by Finite Differences Method. The pressure is obtained by solving a Poisson equation dealing with a fictitious velocity field. The Poisson equation is solved by a Finite Volume Method. The grid is refined by a new method “Adaptive Selective Mesh Refinement” called “ASMR”.
This research aims to convert CT data of hip bone that sufferining cancer to 3D model, and designing metal implant of the infected area on the mechanical analysis programs, to study operability and convenience in terms of distribution of stresses a nd forces just as in patient’s body after installation and under the guidance of the bone surgeon.By depending on Mimics software to read the CT image and 3MATIC to convert the image to 3D digital model after generation the surface and the volume of the implant, the analysis process of stresess and forces in COMSOL software. Where after design and analysis the metal implant was appropriate mechanicaly and do not contain dangerousareas after the application of the expected forces.
Damascus is located at the southern part of Syria not far from the Dead sea fault system, in particular from one of its branches the Sergayah fault. The latter in particular is a quite active fault system and the main seismic source for both destr uctive historical events felt and instrumental seismicity recorded in Damascus. To model seismic ground motion in Damascus plain and to estimate its amplifications we use a 2-D hybrid method coupling modal summation with finite differences. This techniques allows to compute ground motion in laterally heterogeneous an elastic media. Synthetic seismograms with a cutoff frequency of 5 Hz are created along one 2-D profile passing through the city of Damascus for possible seismic source with assumed magnitudes around 6.5 located on the Sergayah fault. The average regional structural model and the laterally heterogeneous parts of the profiles have been derived from detailed geological and geotechnical data available for the investigated area. From the computations we can infer that the maximum ground motion amplification values in Damascus plain are generally found at frequencies around 1 Hz and 4 Hz. In addition for assessing liquefaction potential in Damascus plain tow methods have been used. first one evaluated roughly liquefaction potential based on topographical and geological information and the second one based on geotechnical data such as N- value, grain size and estimated peak ground acceleration to calculate a liquefaction resistance factor, FL. and liquefaction potential index, IL. We found that IL exceeds 15 which mean probable sever liquefaction.
This Paper offers an effective method to measure the length of the femur in Fetal Ultrasound Images, it applies a series of steps starting with the reducing amount of noise in these images, and then converted them to a binary form and uses morphol ogical operations to segment the femur and isolate it from the rest of the image objects, then it applies an Edge Detector in order to find the edges of the bone, then uses the Hough Transform to detect straight lines in the image. we apply overlapping for resulted lines on the original image, finally we choose the most significant and longest straight line which is corresponding to the length of the femur. The proposed method facilitates the measurement of the femur without the help of a physician through a series of steps.
