Simulation of Trabecular Bone Adaptation - Creating the Optimal Structure

Michal Nowak, Marek Morzynski
Poznan University of Technology, Poznan, Poland


In the paper the simulation of trabecular bone adaptation based on the micro- structure of the trabecular net is discussed. The assumption to the algorithm of bone remodeling stimulated by mechanical loading is presented. The basics of the own adaptive mesh generator are described. The results of computations, using special prepared software, including parallel Finite Element Analysis are presented.
