Abstract
In this study, an elastic-plastic finite element model is used to simulate the thermal affected bone (TAZ) during bone drilling process under the condition of constant applied drilling force. Various drilling times and measurement depths are investigated to explore the size of TAZ and stress distributions within the bone. The results indicate that the maximum TAZ occurs at the interface of cortical bone and cancellous bone. The maximum diameter of TAZ is found to be 3.5 mm in this study.
