Abstract:
In cancellous bone mechanics, it is important to consider that the macroscopic mechanical properties depend on microscopic trabecular structure as well as density. By using image data obtained by X-ray micro CT, three-dimensional digital model of trabecular structure with complicated architecture can be constructed and its macroscopic mechanical properties can be analyzed using a voxel finite element method.
