Optimisation algorithm | |
---|---|
1: | initialize the algorithm: |
2: |  compute the worst case scenario |
3: |   set the material parameters of each nonunion area mesh cell to soft tissue |
4: |   compute the von Mises stress for the tibia |
5: |   search for the maximum stress value |
6: |   define max:=maximum stress value |
7: |  compute the initial scenario |
8: |   set the material parameters of each nonunion area mesh cell to cortical bone |
9: |   compute the von Mises stress for the tibia |
10: |  define the stress threshold |
11: |  define the stop_criterion |
12: | repeat |
13: |  if von Mises stress of nonunion area mesh cell < threshold x max |
14: |   set material parameter of each nonunion area mesh cell from cortical bone to soft tissue |
