Figure 4:

Finite element simulation of trabecular bone remodeling for a $10\text{cm}\times 2\text{cm}\times \frac{1}{2}\text{cm}$ beam, fixed at both lateral ends, and subjected to a uniform pressure of ${10}^6\text{dyn}/{\text{cm}}^2$ on its top surface (plane strain analysis). The referential apparent density ${\rho }_r^s$ is displayed at times 0 to 1000, clockwise from top left (arbitrary time units). Steady state was achieved at time 500 approximately. See Example 3 for additional details.
