Abstract

With the current advances in bone imaging and progress in numerical techniques, the micro structural Finite Element analysis (FEM) of human bone for stiffness and strength assessment for individual fracture risk prediction, with a massive potential for parallelism as become a significant candidate for investigation in the current multicore processors. This master thesis work focuses on investigating the credibility of Finite Element analysis of the human bone structure on the IBM Cell processor.
