Abstract:Bone is a living material with a complex hierarchical structure that gives it remarkable mechanical properties. The bone undergoes constant mechanical and physiological stress, so its quality and its resistance to fracture evolve constantly over time through the process of bone remodelling. Bone quality is not only defined by bone mineral density but also by mechanical properties as well as micro architecture. The aim of this work is to model the fracture of the femur bone under a quasi-static and dynamic soli… Show more
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.
