Abstract

The computation methods join to constitutive low and mathematic modeling theory of physic behaviour of materia are important for mechanic behaviour representation of multi-physics domain subordinate to several loads. The biologic materials representation is not also different, but in this case, there are factors join to live cellular behaviour. Thus were studied, through finite element method, the strength that head femur region show according to loads coming from human walk of 70 kg. The model was based by Biot poroelasticity theory. That estudy, to have been realized only on plane system, attend on indication of the potenciability use of poroelastic model, however, future studies on three dimensions will make show better results.
