The Mischinski & Ural [175] cohesive FEM model of a single osteon. (a) FEM mesh demonstrating crack penetration into an osteon for a 0° crack, (b) stress contours showing the different stages of crack propagation for 0° crack penetration, (c) FEM mesh demonstrating crack deflection into the cement line for a 45° crack, and (d) stress contours showing the different stages of crack propagation for a 45° crack deflection.
