The 2-layer elasto-visco-plastic rheological model
... for the material parameter identification of bone tissue extended by a damage law
Recent publication
Several factors such as plastic hardening, viscosity and damage interact in the response of bone tissue to mechanical loading. The Division of Biomechanics has extended an existing prediction model to include a damage law, which allows the quantification of damage propagation in selected bone structures (moist trabeculae). The advantage of the repeated loading model is that complex behaviour can be predicted from a single mechanical measurement. The damage to the bone tissue along the load path is determined independently of other effects. The work has been published open access in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials.
