Abstract
The fractal structures, which include Sierpinski and Pascal triangular fractals, have provided many mathematical interests. In this study, the hydrodynamic and mechanical properties of the triangular fractals were investigated, and their application to the design of various artificial bone scaffolds has been implemented via CAD modeling, computational analysis and mechanical testing. The study proved that the Sierpinski and Pascal triangular fractal structures could effectively be applied to bone scaffold design and manufacturing regarding permeability and mechanical stiffness.
