Simulations of a multiscale bone material model

An important application of simulating wave propagation in bone is the early detection osteoporosis. During course this disease cortical reduced and replaced by marrow, weakening increasing likelihood fractures [1]. Commonly, modeling problem to only mechanical effects. Recent research includes electrical magnetic effects as well [2-4]. In our previous contributions we introduced a two-phase material model for bone, which considers mechanical, [5,6]. contribution use perform multiscale simulations bone. For purpose resort finite element method (FE2). To apply method, constructed representative volume (RVE) incorporating both phases. We show numerical results cylinder true scale human femur
