RISElastic Anisotropy of Trabecular Bone in the Elderly Human Vertebra
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knowledge of the nature of the elastic symmetry of trabecular bone is fundamental to the study of bone adaptation and failure. Previous studies have classified human vertebral trabecular bone as orthotropic or transversely ...
Effect of Specimen Specific Anisotropic Material Properties in Quantitative Computed Tomography Based Finite Element Analysis of the Vertebra
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intraand interspecimen variations in trabecular anisotropy are often ignored in quantitative computed tomography (QCT)based finite element (FE) models of the vertebra. The material properties are typically estimated solely ...
Differences in Trabecular Microarchitecture and Simplified Boundary Conditions Limit the Accuracy of Quantitative Computed Tomography-Based Finite Element Models of Vertebral Failure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Vertebral fractures are common in the elderly, but efforts to reduce their incidence have been hampered by incomplete understanding of the failure processes that are involved. This study's goal was to elucidate failure ...
