A homogenization sampling procedure for calculating trabecular bone effective stiffness and tissue level stress.
A homogenization sampling procedure is introduced which allows computation of effective trabecular bone stiffness and individual trabecula level stress based on precise models of trabecular bone architecture. Three-dimensional digitized images of 53 trabecular bone specimens with a resolution of 50 microns per voxel were directly converted into three-dimensional finite element meshes by making ...
متن کاملA fast procedure for calculating importance weights in bootstrap sampling
Importance sampling is an efficient strategy for reducing the variance of certain bootstrap estimates. It has found wide applications in bootstrap quantile estimation, proportional hazards regression, bootstrap confidence interval estimation, and other problems. Although estimation of the optimal sampling weights is a special case of convex programming, generic optimization methods are frustrat...
متن کاملEffective Elastic Stiffness for Periodic Masonry Structures via Eigenstrain Homogenization
The equivalent periodic eigenstrain method is used to evaluate the effective elastic stiffness of periodic masonry structure. An Eshelby tensor, for a unit cell of the periodic masonry structure, is derived analytically, and is combined with a strain energy approach to formulate the effective stiffness of the masonry. The new homogenization scheme is simple, one step, and closed form. The model...
متن کاملRelationship between tissue stiffness and degree of mineralization of developing trabecular bone.
It is unknown how the degree of mineralization of bone in individual trabecular elements is related to the corresponding mechanical properties at the bone tissue level. Understanding this relationship is important for the comprehension of the mechanical behavior of bone at both the apparent and tissue level. The purpose of the present study was, therefore, to determine the tissue stiffness and ...
متن کاملNumerical Homogenization of Trabecular Bone Specimens using Composite Finite Elements
The approach on the left does not work for merely statistically periodic microstructures because periodic boundary conditions cannot be prescribed. Instead, macroscopic strains (ū) are imposed on the boundary ∂Ω of the bounding box and the stress response σ̄ is computed on a proper interior subset Ω#β := {x ∈ Ω | dist(x, ∂Ω) > β} shown in red on the far left. This avoids boundary artifacts (stif...
