Direct calculation of the surface-to-volume ratio for human cancellous bone
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
There are many diseases which cause detrimental changes in the trabecular structure of cancellous bone, leading to mechanical failure of the tissue. One approach to understanding the mechanisms of these diseases is to ...
Do bone ingrowth processes produce a globally optimized structure?
(Elsevier, 1993)
A topology optimization program was applied to test the hypothesis that bone adaptation to porous coated implants produces a structure which minimizes the global strain energy density. The program was used to predict the ...
