In this paper, the iBone (Imitation Bone) model which is coupled with Turing
reaction-diffusion system and FEM, is used. The numerical simulation of bone forming process by
considering the osteoclasts and osteoblasts process are conducted. The results shown, that the bone
mass is increased with increase of the initial load value, then fibula and femur bones are obtained
respectively by keeping the required bone forming value. The different bone shapes are obtained by
changing the both bone keeping value and the compressing force value. When set larger bone keeping
value by keeping larger constant compressing force value, bone shape as a pipe with hole just like
femur, when set smaller bone keeping value by keeping the smaller constant compressing force value,
it is close to solid pillar as like fibula.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
