Figure 4.1

Simulation of bone remodeling rule in a square region (10 cm × 10 cm) subjected to a linearly varying traction on the top face, using the approach of Weinans et al. Weinans et al. (1992) as reformulated in a mixture growth framework, Eqs.(2.6) & (2.9)–(2.11). The initial apparent density was uniform and equal to 0.8 g/cm3. Other properties: c = 109 dyne/cm2/ (g/cm3)2, γ = 2, k = 200 dyne · cm/g, B = 10−3 g2/(dyne · cm4 · s). This example was analyzed in the open-source, customizable finite element program FEBio (www.febio.org) Maas et al. (2012).
