Experimental and finite element analysis of tibial stress fractures using a rabbit model

Figure 10 Geometric properties of the rabbit cross-sections: every third section is calculated numerically using a Fortran computer program. NB: Not all sections are shown, there are 71 sections in total. A: The principal moments: the lowest moments are between cross-sections 18 and 21, which represent the 25% to 29% of the model and correspond to the high stress region in the finite element model; B: The cross-sectional areas: the lowest areas are for cross-sections 18 and 21, which correspond to the 25% to 29% levels respectively.
