報(bào)告摘要：

    In this talk a high-order analysis framework for bone mechanics simulation is presented. The method employs unfitted finite element meshes and voxel quadrature rules to seamlessly transfer CT data into a patient-specific bone discretization. It further applies a phase-field based formulation for imposing traction constraints in a diffuse sense ［1］. The essential component of this approach is a diffuse geometry model generated from a metastable phase-field solution of the Allen-Cahn problem that assumes the imaging data asinitial condition. It will be shown that in the context of the voxel finite cell method［2］, diffuse boundary conditions achieve the same accuracy as boundary conditions defined over explicit sharp surfaces, if the inherent length scales, i.e., the interface width of the phase-field,the voxel spacing and the mesh size, are properly related. The flexibility of the proposed method and its suitability for the clinical use will be demonstrated by analysing stresses in a human femur and a vertebral body.
