In Silico Pelvis and Sacroiliac Joint Motion: Refining a Model of the Human Osteoligamentous Pelvis for Assessing Physiological Load Deformation Using an Inverted Validation Approach

Figure 2

(a) Overview bone; parametric change of (b) linear elastic bone properties (solid), (c) viscoelastic bone (solid) with linear elastic cartilage and ligaments, (d) viscoelastic (solid) bone, cartilage and ligaments, and (e) change in bone geometry in a model (solid versus shell) with viscoelastic properties of bone and cartilage, linear elastic ligaments. The bottom figure shows the related deformation in a 2 mm shell model.
