...Mohammad Salem; Lindsey Westover; Samer Adeeb; Kajsa Duke To simulate the mechanical and fracture behaviors of cancellous bone in three anatomical directions and to develop an equivalent constitutive model. Microscale extended finite element method (XFEM) models of a cancellous specimen were...

... 2014 16 07 2014 30 07 2014 The complex geometry of cancellous bone tissue makes it difficult to generate finite element (FE) models. Only a few studies investigated the convergence behavior at the tissue scale using Cartesian meshes. However, these studies were not conducted according...

...Michael Olsen; Edward T. Davis; Cari M. Whyne; Rad Zdero; Emil H. Schemitsch Insufficient lateralization of the femoral component coupled with exposed reamed cancellous bone has been speculated to predispose to femoral neck fracture. The current study examined the effect of mediolateral implant...

...Carlos Bonifasi-Lista; Elena Cherkaev; Yener N. Yeni This work deals with the study of the analytical relations between porosity of cancellous bone and its mechanical properties. The Stieltjes representation of the effective shear complex modulus of cancellous bone is exploited to recover porosity...
