Homogenization of Heterogeneous Tissue Scaffold: A Comparison of Mechanics, Asymptotic Homogenization, and Finite Element Approach
Actual prediction of the effective mechanical properties of tissue scaffolds is very important for tissue engineering applications. Currently common homogenization methods are based on three available approaches: standard mechanics modeling, homogenization theory, and finite element methods. Each of...
