The Effect of Stress Concentration on Bone Remodeling: Theoretical Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Theoretical predictions of internal bone remodeling around an elliptical hole are studied. The internal remodeling theory due to Cowin and Hegedus is employed. The bone is modeled as an initially ...
Devolution of Inhomogeneities in Bone Structure—Predictions of Adaptive Elasticity Theory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we consider an initially inhomogeneous adaptive elastic body subjected to a steady homogeneous stress state. The adaptive elastic body, which is a model for living bone tissue, ...
An Analytical Model of Pauwels’ Functional Adaptation Mechanism in Bone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper it is argued and partially demonstrated that the features of Pauwels’ qualitative theory of functional adaptation of bone tissue are expressed mathematically by the cubic approximation ...
