Finite Element Model of Canine-Specific Vertebrae Incorporating Biomechanical Tissue Nonlinearity
Source abstract
Abstract
As dogs are considered valuable members of many families, ensuring their health and well-being is essential. This study introduces a numerical nonlinear model that explores the complexities of canine vertebrae, with a specific focus on their experimentally observed mechanical properties. The model underwent rigorous testing, and its results were compared with actual data on the compression of canine lumbar vertebrae. The numerical results and experimental data comparison had a 12% RRMSE. This research enhances our understanding of canine bone health and lays the groundwork for future initiatives aimed at treating and mitigating bone-related diseases in dogs.
