Trabecular bone numerical homogenization with the use of buffer zone
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2014, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper is devoted to calculation of effective orthotropic material parameters for trabecular bone tissue. The finite element method (FEM) numerical model of bone sample was created on the basis of micro-computed tomography (µCT) data. The buffer zone surrounding the tissue was created to apply the periodic boundary conditions. Numerical homogenization algorithm was implemented in FEM software and used to calculate the elasticity matrix coefficients of the considered bone sample.

Simulation of in-plane vibrations of 2D structural solids with singularities using an efficient wave based prediction technique
This paper proposes the wave based method for the steady-state dynamic analysis of the in-plane behaviour of 2D structural solids. This novel prediction technique relaxes the frequency limitations of the commonly used fi...
Prediction of consistency parameters of fen soils by neural networks
This paper presents application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for prediction of consistency parameters (plastic limit, liquid limit) of fen soils in comparison with the standard regression analysis. All samples of...
Evolutionary identification of laminates? granular parameters. (Received in the final form November 12, 2010)
The paper deals with the identification of material constants in simple and hybrid laminates. It is assumed that identified constants are non-deterministic and can be described by means of different forms of the informat...
Numerical studies of dynamic stability under small random parametric excitations
An efficient numerical procedure is proposed to obtain mean-square stability regions for both single-degree-of-freedom and two-degree-of-freedom linear systems under parametric bounded noise excitation. This procedure re...
