Abstract: A two-level micromechanical model of cortical bone based on a generalized self-consistent method was developed to take into consideration the transversely isotropic elasticity of many microstructural ...

Abstract: The level of structural detail that can be acquired and incorporated in a finite element (FE) analysis might greatly influence the results of microcomputed tomography (μCT)-based FE simulations, ...

Abstract: This study was designed to compare the compressive mechanical properties of filler materials, Wood’s metal, dental stone, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which are widely used for performing ...
