Abstract This paper is devoted to the microstructure geometric modeling and mechanical
properties computation of cancellous bone. The microstructure of the cancellous bone
determines its mechanical properties and a precise geometric modeling of this structure is
important to predict the material properties. Based on the microscopic observation, a new
microstructural unit cell model is established by introducing the Schwarz surface in this
paper. And this model is very close to the real microstructure and satisfies the main
biological characteristics of cancellous bone. By using the unit cell model, the multiscale
analysis method is newly applied to predict the mechanical properties of… More >
