Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Mechanics
  • Orthopedic Research

Background:

  • Trabecular bone demonstrates complex mechanical behavior.
  • Understanding bone tissue damage is crucial for predicting fractures and guiding treatment.
  • Existing models may not fully capture site-specific damage accumulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a finite element-based computational model for analyzing structural damage in trabecular bone.
  • To implement a modulus reduction method derived from elasto-plasticity theory to simulate site-specific bone tissue damage.
  • To investigate the non-linear mechanical response of human vertebral bone under cyclic loading.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of a modulus reduction method based on elasto-plasticity theory.
